As reported by CNN, the 19-year-old musician gave a stellar and graceful performance to the 600 wedding guests gathered in Windsor today.

Kanneh-Mason was accompanied by an orchestra and performed the three-part piece flawlessly while the newlyweds signed the wedding register.

His participation in the ceremony was announced almost two months ago when he excitedly took to Twitter and shared the news with his 27,000 followers.

The Nottingham-born Kanneh-Mason received recognition in 2015 when he entered Britains' Got Talent and won the BBC contest the following year.

He has been playing the cello since the age of six and received numerous awards during his school career, including the Marguerite Swan Memorial Prize at the age of nine.

Besides his passion for music and his talent, Kanneh-Mason was also a straight-A student who received exceptional grades for Music, Maths, and Physics.

He released an album titled Inspiration earlier this year, and it soon became the biggest-selling album, according to BBC.
