Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on January 14, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Koh Gabriel Kameda! Another year older and your violin only gets younger (or is it the other way around?). Whether you're dazzling audiences worldwide or impressing judges like you did so memorably at the 1997 Henryk Szeryng International Violin Competition in Mexico, your artistry remains as brilliant—and timeless—as ever.

Here's to another year filled with soaring Bach solos, electrifying Paganini encores, and fewer broken strings mid-performance! May life always be harmonious for you—just make sure your cake candles don't melt from the sheer heat of those fiery performances. Cheers to many happy returns!
