Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 31, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Itzhak Perlman! Your violin playing is so legendary that even Beethoven would give you a standing ovation. From your unforgettable performances at Carnegie Hall to inspiring millions with your warmth and humor, you've truly orchestrated life's greatest symphony.

Whether dazzling audiences worldwide or charming us all on social media, you're proof that talent only gets better with age—like fine wine or perfectly tuned violins. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer broken strings!

Here's wishing the maestro another year of brilliant notes and endless applause—you've earned every encore (and slice of cake)!
