90 years old (Born on July 12, 1934)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Van Cliburn! Ever since you stunned the world by winning the first-ever Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in 1958 at just 23, you've been hitting all the right notes. Your fingers danced across keys faster than most of us can type a text message!Even decades later, your musical triumphs remain timeless—proving that true talent never goes out of style. May your birthday be filled with harmony, laughter, and cake that's as grand as your piano performances. Keep inspiring generations; after all these years, you're still our favorite maestro who made classical music cool again!
