​@@hestergreen2031It's an easy song, so it was probably pretty easy for each individual member of the orchestra to improvise their own part.

He is doing an 80th birthday tour which will last most of his birthday year.

'i gotta start again now' Happy 80th!

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

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

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

It must be splendid to have an entire orchestra wishing you happy birthday :D

That transition was so smooth

My faith in human kindness has been restored. Thank you very much!

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

With all the craziness & BS going on its moments like these that gives you joy & hope.

80 years is truly something to celebrate not many people make it to half that honestly😭❤

In this deeply selfish world we indeed need more of these moments, if only to show that surprising someone else is actually much more fun than being so busy with yourself.

That was glorious - beautifully done. "Happy Birthday" played by a full orchestra is absolutely stunning, very moving. Happy Birthday!

Happy 80th Birthday Sir Karl Jenkins. 🙏

Imagine being that beloved. Wonderful.

He writes music, which is always accessible and throughly enjoyable. Happy Birthday to a great Welsh man.

This demonstrates the love and friendship that is forged from playing in an orchestra together 🥹

Loved how his baton stopped a few notes in to Happy Birthday!!! What a way to celebrate your 80th!!! Happy 80th Birthday Sir Karl!

This man is 80?! He looks great!!

That was most excellent and seamless transition.

Humans can do something wonderful from time to time.

Classical music always draw the best from everybody. Happy bday, maestro.

That’s the power of music… any music

I had the joy of attending his 70th birthday concert at the Albert Hall in 2014 - can’t believe it was a decade ago. Still have the CD he signed. Such wonderful music.

I can't get enough of this Happy Birthday orchestra. What an amazing performance. Thanks for uploading!

This was absolutely amazing, Happy Birthday Sir Karl ❤. I pray that I can have an entire orchestra play this exact rendition on my 80th birthday 🎂

One of the best modern day composers and he is Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Goes to show how beloved he must be to them

Shows the respect and love of his people!❤❤❤

Now that's just wholesome.

That is wholesomely lovely.

Imagine being literally surrounded by all that love! Incredible!

I would have cried! What a lovely rendition of that song!

There are few simple pleasures left in life. Moments like these fill the soul. Wonderful.

What an absolutely lovely suprise. They really made it special

I like and love to see conductors who look like, rockstars! Sir Karl is just one of those who rocks it out!

The most sophisticated ‘prank’ ✨✨✨

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Wishing you many more!! Brilliantly Beautiful!!!!!

Nothing and I mean nothing beats this! Epic, Simply Epic!!! Happy birthday 🎉

It was great! In this evening of mid April, when I went to congratulate Sir Jenkins at the end of the performance, I also wished him a happy birthday, and he replied: "It is in February." I'm still confused to why they did that! 😂

When my older friends ( 70 plus) have a birthday, they celebrate ALL WEEK , 7 days …they are treated by different friends and family to dinners or lunches ALL week. When you live that long she says, you accumulate many deep long caring relationships so you can’t just have one day to celebrate. I guess when you’re 80 AND FAMOUS …. it could take up to 2 months !! LOL 😂 This must have been a lovely surprise for him . 😊 80 and still working at a job he loves . If we can be so lucky …. I hope I get some of his blessings to keep doing something I enjoy for as long as possible .

What city do you live in that struggles to bring in crowds for a classical music concert? I live in New York City where classical music is very popular. We even have a free Philharmonic concert coming up on June 12 for the masses in Central Park, which they do every year.

Absolutely brilliant, congratulations 🎉

That was great, and what a fabulous rendition of Happy Birthday!

This restores my faith in humanity.

What a wonderful surprise and heartfelt reaction!

Put a smile on my face
