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.

that is if you even want to celebrate, a lot of people dont celebrate birthdays. i guess you are implying that a lot of people are dying young. yes, could be true. This is also another important consideration for having kids. perhaps better to not have if the chances are so high of dying young and leaving them without parents

@berniecelee5062 2 месяца назад

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 .
