Happy Birthday, Vedran Smailovic! May your day be as melodious and harmonious as your legendary cello performances—which can charm even a grumpy critic into applause. Your breathtaking courage performing amidst Sarajevo’s struggles has inspired millions, reminding us all of the hope music brings to humanity.Recent years have been equally impressive: whether captivating audiences in full auditoriums or gracefully mentoring new talent backstage—you continue proving that age only improves virtuosos like good vintage wine (and very fine cellos). Wishing you another wonderful year filled with standing ovations, unmatched notes—and perhaps fewer broken strings during passionate solos!
Cheers Maestro!
