Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on September 12, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Jeffrey Kahane! Ever since you took the baton at the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra back in 1997, you've been orchestrating brilliance—literally. You've dazzled audiences worldwide, from Beethoven to Brahms, making even the toughest critics tap their feet (secretly, of course).

Whether you're conducting a symphony or tickling ivories with flair, your performances always hit just the right note. Here's hoping your birthday is as harmonious and joyful as your legendary concerts—and may this year bring you more standing ovations than ever before. After all these years on stage, you've certainly earned an encore—or two!
