On tour with the Royal Philharmonic this summer, Sting stopped by 'Today' on Friday morning to kick off their summer concert series, treating viewers to a taste of an upscale, classier version of the Police. After a short harp introduction, the orchestra jumped into 'Everything She Does Is Magic' with a jolly Sting looking dapper as ever and host Hoda Kotb looking like she was in fan-girl heaven.

Later, he introduced viewers to 'Roxanne' with a preface sounding straight out of a classical music hall before performing 'Next to You' and 'Englishman in New York.' Say what you want about the concept but Sting's voice paired with these new arrangements breathes new life into his classic catalog.
