Sir Karl Jenkins was expecting to conduct his 'Palladio' on stage at the Royal Albert Hall, but Scotland’s national orchestra had other ideas...

In his 80th birthday year, Sir Karl was treated to a musical surprise by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, at Classic FM Live with Viking, where hosts Alexander Armstrong and Myleene Klass brought the Welsh maestro two cakes in celebration.

The wonderful arrangement was made by the orchestra’s conductor for the rest of the night, Ben Palmer. Watch the full concert soon on Sky Arts.

It was business as usual...until it wasn't. The transition to 'happy birthday to you' is superbly done!

I never listened to "Happy Birthday" as delivered by a full orchestra. Sounds amazing.

Sir Karl used to sit next to my mother in primary school. She's 80 on Sunday.

When people think they are doing something awesome for you, but actually they are totally ruining your day 😂 and you still love them

Absolutely fantastic! Seamless transition to the Happy Birthday song. Must've had some practice without Sir Karl around!

Probably the most beautiful rendition of the Happy Birthday song I've ever heard.

The flawless transition and the look in his face were so precious. And his reaction in the end is just like mine would be. I gotta start all over again 😂😂
