Happy Birthday, Luis de Pablo! May your day be filled with more harmony than an orchestra performing "Las Orillas," and fewer surprises than the plot twists in "La señorita Cristina." Your music has always struck a chord—sometimes literally—and we still can't get over how you made chamber music cool again with "Ex voto."From founding Nueva Música, Tiempo y Música, and Alea to composing unforgettable film scores like Carlos Saura's classic "La caza," you've orchestrated quite the legacy. Here's hoping this birthday hits all the right notes (and none of those tricky accidentals). Cheers to another timeless masterpiece year ahead!
