Happy Birthday, Maestro Jose Serebrier! From composing your first symphony at the tender age of 17—premiered by none other than Leopold Stokowski—to becoming one of the most recorded conductors in history, you've certainly set a high bar for teenage prodigies everywhere. Most teenagers struggle to finish homework; you casually wrote symphonies!Your Grammy-winning career continues to inspire musicians worldwide. May your baton remain ever graceful and your recordings timelessly brilliant. Here's wishing you another year filled with standing ovations, flawless crescendos, and perhaps fewer requests from friends asking if you'll "just quickly compose something" for their birthdays too!
