I'm Fazer. I'm a rapper, musician and multi-platinum music producer.

0:00:040:00:08

but last year, I got to play with

0:00:110:00:17

It was like the most overwhelming

0:00:190:00:22

that I've had because it was like, "Wow." It's all live instruments.

0:00:220:00:25

like this through a computer,

0:00:300:00:53

'But I think they're missing out

0:00:530:01:02

beats to Beethoven and I'm giving them a classical crash course.

0:01:020:01:06

They'll listen to it... This needs to stop getting in my ears, really.

0:01:070:01:10

..learn about it... Mosh the beat.

0:01:100:01:14

'I'm going to challenge this group

0:01:190:01:21

In under two months, we're going to be playing at this year's BBC Proms

0:01:280:01:30

the stereotypes of young people

0:01:330:01:36

'and the classical world...'

0:01:360:01:37

When I walked in there, like,

0:01:370:01:40

It's an emotional experience.

0:01:400:01:42

'..so they can learn to appreciate classical music and hopefully,

0:01:430:01:47

The job that I have with this project and what I'm taking on

0:01:490:01:52

Shevelle, Samara and Benji,

0:02:070:02:12

I know that my eyes were watering

0:02:240:02:26

It was actually overwhelming.

0:02:260:02:28

Do you listen to rap music, mate? Er, yeah. I mean, no question.

0:02:290:02:33

..and we wrote a track together that works for both the pop

0:02:330:02:36

It's a big risk because you never

0:02:380:02:40

..all in a bid to see if I can

0:02:440:02:48

So far, the challenge hasn't

0:02:510:02:54

When the orchestra first came out,

0:02:540:02:58

I can't think. I feel like I'm letting everyone down here.

0:03:000:03:03

The question is, will they accept classical music like I did?

0:03:290:03:33

And will they be ready on the night?

0:03:360:03:38

Do you reckon that's good enough

0:03:380:03:41

for the band's first rehearsals

0:03:440:03:47

Last time, The Chapters were here, rapper Curtis was struggling

0:03:540:03:58

with his bars and some of the group

0:03:580:04:00

the pressure is on to step up.

0:04:040:04:06

still don't seem to get it...

0:04:160:04:19

Benji's walking up and I'm leaving Benji. Can't we just react there,

0:04:250:04:29

interact there? Yeah. It looks dead.

0:04:290:04:32

First and foremost thing for me is making sure the vocal is tight.

0:04:320:04:36

That will come natural anyway.

0:04:360:04:39

I'm going to be doing my songs which I know back to front, inside out,

0:04:420:04:46

Wretch ain't going to be messing up. Maverick ain't going to be.

0:04:480:04:50

I don't want you guys to look silly in front of everyone. I want you lot to smash it just as much as we are.

0:04:500:04:55

Get some discipline and really

0:04:550:04:58

'so we keep running the track

0:05:030:05:05

'But after only a few minutes

0:05:120:05:15

'I noticed Samara's getting upset.

0:05:150:05:17

about their parents and stuff

0:05:330:05:36

coming to the Proms and that.

0:05:360:05:38

Yeah, my mum's not going to be

0:05:430:05:54

..she's not going to be there

0:06:010:06:04

shouting my nickname, embarrassing me in front of all those people

0:06:040:06:08

because to be honest, I'd do anything

0:06:080:06:11

her than not have her there at all.

0:06:110:06:15

Fazer's been quite supportive.

0:06:190:06:23

like a big brother. "Look, you can do this. Your mum's there in spirit.

0:06:230:06:27

I'm quite thankful, otherwise I don't know if I'd be able

0:06:300:06:33

Samara's been incredibly brave to put herself forward for my project

0:06:350:06:38

while she's still grieving.

0:06:380:06:39

After a few moments away from the group, she rejoins rehearsals.

0:06:410:06:45

# Here are Seven chapters...

0:06:480:06:50

# We're turning the page. #

0:06:520:06:54

For me, this project is about more than just performing on the night.

0:06:570:07:00

I really want to see if I can break down some of the barriers

0:07:000:07:02

that stopped The Chapters from

0:07:020:07:06

Samara and Sin-Seer down to leafy

0:07:090:07:11

the Thames Youth Orchestra.

0:07:110:07:14

That's it because, like, this is

0:07:190:07:21

Although a lot of young people don't

0:07:250:07:28

there are some that do prefer

0:07:280:07:31

a thing or two on some instruments and see if you guys can learn

0:07:560:08:02

My hope is that if they can understand classical instruments,

0:08:020:08:13

Sin-Seer has chosen the oboe,

0:08:130:08:15

I'm going to try and teach him Swan Lake which is quite ambitious.

0:08:230:08:29

and then put all the fingers down.

0:08:290:08:31

the natural concept of the violin.

0:08:540:08:57

So, where you put your hands,

0:08:570:09:01

I'm actually really impressed.

0:09:010:09:03

I didn't expect someone to pick

0:09:030:09:05

HE PLAYS THE BEGINNING OF SWAN LAKE

0:09:060:09:09

Before coming today, I didn't know nothing about this instrument.

0:09:140:09:17

Now I can play Swan Lake on it so I think that's progress.

0:09:170:09:20

..learning a brand-new instrument is proving to be more of a struggle.

0:09:260:09:29

I'm still doing it too tight. OK.

0:09:370:09:40

I've got it but my hands don't work.

0:09:400:09:43

groups get to know each other

0:09:460:09:49

So, what is it that made you pick up

0:09:510:09:56

Well, when I was about four,

0:09:560:09:59

at my older brother's school

0:09:590:10:01

and I just saw like a flute being played and I thought,

0:10:010:10:04

I wish I'd not got kicked out of school in the first place,

0:10:100:10:19

how much you've been exposed,

0:10:190:10:25

They are from, like, different end of the stick kind of thing,

0:10:330:10:49

but performing in front of people

0:10:510:10:54

a tune which I just learnt,

0:10:540:10:58

It's now time for us to see

0:10:580:11:01

so we start with Hermione who's

0:11:010:11:05

I'm actually really scared.

0:11:100:11:13

SONG: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

0:11:140:11:17

You played it so well. Thanks.

0:11:200:11:22

It definitely makes me think that

0:11:440:11:47

I would have liked to have had

0:11:470:11:50

I think anyone would say yes

0:11:500:11:53

to learn a classical instrument

0:11:530:11:56

and gives it his best shot.

0:11:560:11:59

I wouldn't have given them a chance.

0:11:590:12:03

they'd have hid their handbags

0:12:030:12:06

or run a mile down the road

0:12:060:12:08

He's a G. We were just busting jokes. He was making me laugh.

0:12:100:12:14

It's more about giving people

0:12:180:12:21

Don't let a stereotype stop you from getting to know someone.

0:12:210:12:25

Jesus taught me how to play

0:12:270:12:30

so I'm going to have a try.

0:12:300:12:31

after making a great start,

0:12:360:12:38

and the orchestra got on so well

0:12:550:13:19

to posh Richmond. He lives in

0:13:190:13:22

You won't see no-one who plays

0:13:310:13:34

Sin-Seer turned down a place

0:13:340:13:37

But this decision has caused

0:13:370:13:40

no interest in education whatsoever.

0:13:420:13:47

I do feel pressure to succeed.

0:13:470:13:49

they don't get encouraged to do

0:13:490:13:51

stuff like music. Their parents

0:13:510:13:55

Be a lawyer, doctor, whatever.

0:13:550:13:57

Adil's parents are sceptical about him making it in the music industry,

0:13:570:14:01

cutting off financial support while he tries to pursue his dream.

0:14:010:14:04

to let him stand on his feet.

0:14:080:14:11

I said to him, "You have to go out and do things for yourself."

0:14:110:14:14

HE RAPS: I want to be a master

0:14:140:14:16

So I spend my days at home alone

0:14:160:14:18

Despite this lack of support,

0:14:180:14:20

Sin-Seer's still keen to prove his dad wrong and win his backing.

0:14:200:14:24

when I make it into a career.

0:14:240:14:26

like they might have thought I was.

0:14:260:14:30

HE RAPS: No need to picture the past

0:14:300:14:33

'It'd be a good feeling if my parents

0:14:330:14:36

cos they've not really told me

0:14:360:14:39

I think this lack of support has had an effect on Sin-Seer's self-esteem

0:14:450:14:48

and confidence in the group.

0:14:480:14:50

So it's a priority to get him pumped

0:14:500:14:54

I decided to meet up with him

0:14:540:14:56

so he knows I'm backing him, even if his family aren't yet.

0:14:560:15:00

Is there anything you're worried

0:15:020:15:04

like, confidence might be a thing.

0:15:060:15:10

everyone thought I was BLEEP

0:15:180:15:20

but now they've got a lot to prove

0:15:200:15:23

Wicked, man. Well, I've set up something for today to maybe

0:15:230:15:27

The idea of today is to give Adil an experience of being on stage

0:15:500:15:54

and giving him an idea of what it's

0:15:540:15:58

and you feel good standing and the places that actually, you go,

0:16:030:16:06

'The first thing Polly needs

0:16:080:16:10

'body language and stage presence.'

0:16:100:16:12

I feel comfortable anywhere.

0:16:130:16:16

Ooh! There you go, very good.

0:16:350:16:39

proper weird me doing this.

0:16:400:16:43

You throw it back to him. All right?

0:17:000:17:04

Can we add a little sound effect?

0:17:090:17:10

You can kind of tell that he's not used to this at all and it's

0:17:120:17:15

completely out of his comfort zone

0:17:150:17:18

'With Sin Seer finally letting down his guard, Polly decides to

0:17:250:17:28

Fantastic. Ah, look at your face!

0:17:370:17:46

really, really exciting. You look

0:17:460:17:53

I'm finding it weird. That's good.

0:17:530:17:55

# Made a promise till death

0:17:550:17:58

# Heading towards the open doors

0:17:580:18:00

# I don't mind, just let me

0:18:000:18:19

'I realise the benefits of just

0:18:190:18:21

and there's nothing to really be

0:18:210:18:24

You've got to try it to overcome it and, like, I did that today

0:18:260:18:29

I'm really glad that Sin-Seer has got his lack of confidence in check

0:18:330:18:37

because tonight I've arranged for the Chapters to play their first

0:18:370:18:40

some of the professional musicians from the Symphony Orchestra.

0:18:460:18:50

Yeah. What? Yeah, tonight. Oh, yeah.

0:18:500:18:55

No, I just carry this around with me for fun when I go out.

0:18:550:18:58

With less than a week to go

0:18:580:19:00

at the Royal Albert Hall with

0:19:000:19:03

it's the perfect opportunity

0:19:030:19:05

and urban are coming together

0:19:050:19:08

and how the Chapters cope with the pressure of a live gig.

0:19:080:19:11

Tonight's probably going to be a rehearsal for the real thing

0:19:110:19:13

but we've still got to get it right.

0:19:130:19:16

Except, on the night there'll be 90 of you and 7,000 people there.

0:19:160:19:19

While this is the Chapters'

0:19:210:19:24

players that they were coming down

0:19:270:19:30

from the Symphony Orchestra, I know

0:19:300:19:31

they were like, "OK, we are going

0:19:310:19:35

of the BBC Symphony Orchestra

0:19:380:19:41

are used are used to playing in the world's finest concert halls

0:19:410:19:44

so they're well and truly out of their comfort zone tonight, too.

0:19:440:19:47

It's kind of like the polar opposite of any concert hall.

0:19:520:19:56

The staging is minute down there. Yeah, it's very, very small.

0:20:000:20:03

can't lie. I'm actually scared today.

0:20:180:20:29

'whilst me and my production partner Pete Ibsen look on.'

0:20:290:20:32

'an idea of whether my project is going to succeed or not.'

0:20:450:20:48

# Here are seven chapters... #

0:20:480:20:50

go hard or go home so if we can

0:20:500:20:53

'win them around, we should be able

0:20:530:20:57

# You'll never know the paths

0:20:570:21:01

an underwhelming performance.

0:21:040:21:07

What do you reckon? Do you reckon

0:21:160:21:18

If they came offstage doing that at the Royal Albert Hall,

0:21:240:21:27

they'll be disappointed. Yeah, I think they would be, too.

0:21:270:21:30

How did you guys feel it went? It went good but that's as far as I go.

0:21:310:21:36

I don't think it was the raps that was the issue, tonight.

0:21:380:21:41

I think everyone was on point

0:21:420:21:45

I'm just going to say it how it is.

0:21:450:21:48

It was a bit messy in the chorus and it was partly because when the

0:21:480:21:51

lead comes in, you guys still felt

0:21:510:21:55

But that's only for that little part and then you guys take over

0:21:580:22:02

so you have to learn - "Ah! I'm

0:22:020:22:05

"Oh, I'm back on." That kind of

0:22:050:22:09

Not everyone's got the whole tone and key thing on point. Yeah.

0:22:100:22:13

at all through the monitors.

0:22:140:22:17

'At the moment, the singers are competing with each other

0:22:220:22:25

'and belting out their parts

0:22:250:22:27

'But they need to think more like orchestral players, who know

0:22:270:22:30

discovered her musical roots

0:22:420:22:50

I joined the first gospel choir that I've ever joined in Jamaica.

0:22:500:23:13

See, boy, I thought you knew. #

0:23:130:23:16

ever connected with is classical.

0:23:160:23:20

I think classical music is for rich, uptight people. It's boring.

0:23:200:23:26

But I think Shev could learn

0:23:300:23:31

which could really help not just her performance on the night

0:23:330:23:36

a more versatile singer, too.

0:23:360:23:40

Up until now, Shevelle's been

0:23:430:23:46

sending her to see opera singer

0:23:460:23:50

and experienced Prom performer

0:23:500:23:52

she needs to nail it on the night.

0:23:550:23:58

I'm really looking forward to

0:24:060:24:09

I'm looking forward to hearing her sing something a bit more classical

0:24:090:24:12

just to see how her voice sounds when she's singing more like that.

0:24:120:24:15

The first thing Rebecca does is get Shevelle to warm up.

0:24:170:24:19

Can you feel a stretch? Cool.

0:24:190:24:22

Her classical techniques will help

0:24:280:24:31

over her voice, which will, in turn,

0:24:310:24:32

the other vocalists in the group.

0:24:320:24:35

Did that feel like hard work? Or did your voice just keep climbing up?

0:24:420:24:46

Oh, my God, you've got a massive range, a really even voice.

0:24:480:24:51

I'm beginning to hate you already,

0:24:510:24:57

Classical favourite Ave Maria is poles apart from Shevelle's

0:25:220:25:41

Let nobody tell you that you can't sing classical music,

0:25:490:25:52

It opens up a whole new way of doing things, you see. Yeah. Cool.

0:25:540:25:58

And she was like, "Oh, you're hitting

0:26:020:26:05

And I was like, "Is that me, yeah?

0:26:050:26:08

to dawn on her that she's got

0:26:080:26:10

and to be able to do all kinds

0:26:120:26:15

isn't something that had perhaps occurred to her before today.

0:26:150:26:19

'This has given me the confidence

0:26:190:26:22

It's never really occurred to me, like, joining a classical choir but

0:26:220:26:26

now, like, I might just have to jump on that, you know what I mean, like?

0:26:260:26:32

first rehearsal with the full

0:26:470:26:49

for the Urban Classic Prom.

0:26:490:26:52

who are playing on the night

0:26:550:26:57

'And I've asked the Chapters to listen in on my rehearsals

0:27:020:27:05

'so they can get an idea of

0:27:050:27:09

here, yeah? And Fazer's down there.

0:27:270:27:32

'I'm so excited to see my band

0:27:370:27:39

The Chapters have never rehearsed with in-ear monitors before

0:28:270:28:30

# We're turning the page. #

0:28:330:28:36

# Yeah, yeah, I'm used to being on my own when I didn't know no-one

0:28:400:28:44

# I remember them times... #

0:28:440:28:46

Thankfully, the group make it to the end of the performance.

0:28:570:29:01

I mean, like, doing it with the orchestra is something different.

0:29:120:29:15

Then having in-ear monitors - like, we're legit nowadays.

0:29:150:29:19

pleased with the end result

0:29:200:29:23

is still seriously concerned.

0:29:250:29:27

'It was a bit of a mess, actually.'

0:29:270:29:28

themselves and they shouldn't be.

0:29:330:29:37

about Benji, who has the huge

0:29:370:29:41

the opening bars of the track.

0:29:410:29:44

I mean, I've just gone on camera

0:29:500:29:52

I know in-ears and all that stuff is all new and stuff, so...

0:30:010:30:33

Pete's constructive criticism is given for all the right reasons

0:30:330:30:36

but, for Benji, the journey from singing in his home town

0:30:360:30:39

to singing at the Royal Albert Hall

0:30:390:30:42

which has not a lot going on. There's not really much of a music scene.

0:30:490:30:53

from the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

0:30:560:31:00

'I go and visit the elderly in their homes and make their lunch,'

0:31:040:31:08

'they have no-one visit them in the day apart from their carers.'

0:31:110:31:14

It's just nice to be able to bring a smile to someone's day, I guess,

0:31:140:31:18

When he's not caring for the elderly and those in need, Benji puts on

0:31:220:31:25

his own nights in his hometown

0:31:250:31:29

the only way to sort of get

0:31:290:31:32

yourself out there is sometimes by putting on your own shows.

0:31:320:31:35

classical music in one word,'

0:31:440:31:46

'Living in, like, little towns like Calne, I haven't had much

0:31:510:31:53

passionate about performing,

0:31:560:31:58

his ambitions remain modest.

0:31:580:32:00

'If I can sort of pay the rent

0:32:000:32:04

are cool but in a few days' time,

0:32:090:32:13

he'll be playing the Urban Classic Prom with Wretch 32, Laura Mvula

0:32:130:32:16

So he needs to get used to the idea of playing on a bigger stage.

0:32:200:32:23

a feel for what it's like to play to a packed Royal Albert Hall.

0:32:540:33:06

on their classical journey,

0:33:060:33:08

they will be experiencing a purely

0:33:080:33:11

classical event without beats

0:33:110:33:14

Tonight, I'm expecting, like, proper, like, surround sound.

0:33:160:33:19

Do you get me? Like, beautiful music. Like, not no MP3 ting.

0:33:190:33:24

Like, something legit, you get me?

0:33:240:33:27

I don't even know what to expect.

0:33:270:33:29

I really can't believe this. Like, oh, my days, this is amazing.

0:33:330:33:37

MUSIC: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

0:33:470:33:49

It was amazing. It was epic,

0:34:140:34:17

It definitely converted me.

0:34:170:34:19

my own money to come hear it

0:34:190:34:21

it takes you away to another place.

0:34:210:34:24

If you go, like, to where I'm from and you tell people about classical

0:34:250:34:29

music, they'll tell you to get out of here, basically, innit?

0:34:290:34:32

Eventually, the length of some of the pieces it did get to

0:34:390:34:42

But at least everyone stuck

0:34:520:34:54

I've been converted. Give it

0:35:330:35:38

some of the guys talk about classical music with such passion.

0:35:380:35:43

But while most of the group

0:35:440:35:47

Vic still remains a classical

0:35:470:35:53

really click for me at times.

0:35:550:36:00

and the sacrifices he's made to pursue his musical dream,

0:36:050:36:08

would appreciate classical music.

0:36:080:36:11

but I'm originally from Portsmouth.

0:36:150:36:18

Music student Vic is trying to make it as a session musician.

0:36:180:36:22

But the decision to make it in

0:36:220:36:25

Vic was a high achiever at school.

0:36:250:36:28

there has to be other options.

0:36:370:36:39

about what's going to make me happy

0:36:390:36:42

what's going to make me money.

0:36:420:36:45

Finally, the pressure of making big life decisions so young

0:36:450:36:48

led to Vic having a breakdown.

0:36:480:36:51

I didn't even talk to anyone

0:36:550:36:58

Vic's mum and dad were very

0:36:580:37:01

as he figured out what he needed to do to make himself happy.

0:37:010:37:04

At the time, they were worried

0:37:040:37:07

leave school to try and make

0:37:160:37:20

But not everyone understood.

0:37:200:37:22

I think my mates at the time

0:37:240:37:27

People are going off to have

0:37:270:37:31

and I think I'm going to be happy

0:37:420:37:54

but so far, I've still not managed to convert him to classical music.

0:37:540:38:07

A lot of classical music that

0:38:070:38:11

on the piece you're hearing,

0:38:140:38:16

it's dependent on the interpreter

0:38:160:38:19

They might play it like this. HE PLAYS A STRAIGHTFORWARD TUNE

0:38:210:38:26

That's what it's all about for me. How have you got this good?

0:38:390:38:43

Although I've sort of specialised

0:38:460:38:48

is the influence of Spanish music

0:39:030:39:06

Vic decides to give it a go.

0:39:160:39:20

It is literally just twitching to get back up every time I move!

0:39:450:39:49

it was way better than I expected.

0:39:530:39:57

Something that I've somehow missed from classical music

0:40:200:40:29

It's now Friday and it's the final rehearsal for the Chapters

0:40:390:40:41

before the Urban Classic Prom.

0:40:410:40:43

Any issues that they have inside,

0:40:460:40:49

and they need to get over it.

0:40:490:40:50

Our level was here and yet,

0:41:060:41:09

Fair enough, everything was going on, but when it comes to things

0:41:090:41:13

that shouldn't be a problem.

0:41:130:41:15

Do you understand? The day before the show, innit? That's the thing.

0:41:150:41:19

That's why it's called rehearsals,

0:41:190:41:22

Because anything can happen,

0:41:220:41:24

It's best for it to happen now than it happen on stage and we don't know.

0:41:240:41:28

We had a group chat, really.

0:41:280:41:31

I found that that was so much better because we didn't really feel we could speak to each other before.

0:41:310:41:37

Now, we've got into that zone where we're comfortable and we can say,

0:41:370:41:40

Or, you're stepping on my toes here.

0:41:400:41:43

trying to fight for the top crown.

0:41:430:41:47

One person trying to reach up

0:41:480:41:52

We just need to blend together instead of trying to compete

0:41:560:41:59

If we didn't have that talk today,

0:41:590:42:01

I think we still would have been

0:42:010:42:04

and now we're able to move on.

0:42:110:42:12

It's really satisfying to see

0:42:120:42:16

realising that they need to

0:42:160:42:30

The pressure is on now. It's like the final hours now, really.

0:43:040:43:09

This time tomorrow, the guys will be getting ready to go on stage.

0:43:090:43:13

They all want to get it right.

0:43:260:43:28

But will Pete think they've done

0:43:350:43:38

Just remember what you've just done.

0:43:380:43:42

Are they ready for tomorrow?

0:43:420:43:44

I guess tomorrow will tell.

0:43:440:43:48

the day of the Proms has arrived

0:43:530:43:55

we've got here in one piece!

0:43:550:43:58

The last couple of days have been

0:43:580:44:01

really gruelling but amazing,

0:44:010:44:05

I felt good after rehearsals

0:44:050:44:08

I think the vibe is back. I think we're ready to go and do our thing.

0:44:080:44:12

Today is the day. We've been preparing all these months, yeah?

0:44:150:44:22

there are very personal reasons why this day means so much.

0:44:290:44:33

Sin-Seer seems to finally have got his dad believing in him.

0:44:330:44:36

shows I've had in Manchester,

0:44:420:44:45

I know he's proud of me because he told me for the first time

0:44:450:45:10

Since when does MY mic go under Laura Mvula's? That's happy times, right?

0:45:220:45:26

The Chapters are getting excited.

0:45:280:45:30

We're at the Royal Albert Hall, we're

0:45:300:45:36

And so they should be because today these young musicians

0:45:360:45:39

who previously knew nothing

0:45:390:45:42

with the BBC Symphony Orchestra

0:45:420:45:46

Showdown time, do you know what

0:45:460:45:50

Nervous. I really want to perform

0:45:580:46:02

I paid the Chapters a visit to check on the mood in the camp.

0:46:070:46:10

How's everyone feeling in their heads, man? Where are we at?

0:46:100:46:13

Weird feeling, man. Excited.

0:46:130:46:15

Different feelings. Excited. I wouldn't even say nervous.

0:46:150:46:19

Listen, everything we've been

0:46:210:46:23

It's all leading up for this.

0:46:230:46:26

Let's just go out there and kill it.

0:46:260:46:28

opportunities don't come every day.

0:46:280:46:33

it's time for my sound check.'

0:46:350:46:38

so it's time for the 7 Chapters

0:46:520:46:54

and take to the Royal Albert Hall stage for the very first time.

0:46:540:46:57

HE RAPS: Used to be at home

0:47:130:47:14

Where I didn't know no-one...

0:47:140:47:23

because the sound engineers

0:47:310:47:43

Blud, it's my turn, I'm rapping and I'm not hearing nothing.

0:47:510:47:56

because we're going to have another chance to talk about it in a minute.

0:47:590:48:04

If anyone needed some reassurance,

0:48:040:48:07

It's actually going to be all right?

0:48:190:48:21

By the end of it, it was working.

0:48:210:48:24

You can hear it in your ears,

0:48:240:48:27

..because now all they need

0:48:440:48:48

I just heard the Tannoy say that the doors were opened a minute ago.

0:48:480:48:51

People are coming in, getting ready

0:48:550:48:58

and we're going to give them

0:48:580:49:01

Welcome to the Urban Classic Prom

0:49:010:49:04

the other artists rock the Proms.

0:49:110:49:16

Samara and Shev see what performing

0:49:190:49:22

Fireflies. He's doing us proud, man.

0:49:250:49:28

so we've got to step up to that

0:49:280:49:32

It's nearly time to take the stage

0:49:470:49:49

This is everything, after all these weeks that we've been going through,

0:49:520:49:55

for and it's crunch time now.

0:49:550:50:24

'6,500 people are waiting to hear The Chapters perform in the venue,

0:50:290:50:33

'as well as many more at home

0:50:330:50:37

'I just hope that all the weeks of hard work will pay off for them

0:50:370:50:40

off the performance of a lifetime.'

0:50:400:50:43

I've never seen that before in my life. It's just amazing.

0:50:570:51:00

'I've not performed on a stage in a venue like this so....'

0:51:050:51:09

It's like my vocab's limited and I can't even get the words out,

0:51:090:51:13

in the goodist way possible.

0:51:130:51:17

# Turning my dreams into reality

0:51:220:51:24

I was looking from left to right, up and down. I was looking...

0:51:290:51:32

My head was everywhere. I was just

0:51:320:51:34

I can't run off. I was BLEEP.

0:51:370:51:40

# Here are Seven Chapters...

0:51:400:51:42

# Here are Seven Chapters...

0:51:460:51:48

SHE RAPS: # My heart's ambition

0:51:500:51:52

# For the music I make... #

0:51:520:51:57

'It was more than what I expected.'

0:51:570:52:01

I couldn't see one empty seat,

0:52:010:52:04

# We're turning the page. #

0:52:480:52:51

Thank you so much. You've been

0:52:510:52:55

I'm so proud of them but they should be proud of themselves too.

0:52:590:53:03

Over the last two months, they've learned so much about a genre

0:53:100:53:13

they hadn't given any time to before this and it's opened

0:53:130:53:16

their minds to a whole new world of music and hopefully, opportunity.

0:53:160:53:20

You guys just stole the show.

0:53:200:53:22

I thought you were going to say

0:53:240:53:27

I'm proud of you guys, man.

0:53:290:53:33

They've done it. They've done it.

0:53:400:53:43

Amazing feeling, better than I've ever felt before in my life.

0:53:430:53:47

Can't believe it. I'm buzzing.

0:53:470:53:50

Back in the Chapters' dressing room,

0:53:590:54:03

to choose music has payed off.

0:54:100:54:13

how big this is in my life.

0:54:130:54:17

You know, taking music when I was 16 was the best decision I've ever made.

0:54:170:54:22

I want to do now and I can do it.

0:54:220:54:28

I saw my mum in me tonight,

0:54:380:54:47

and chopped it out to everybody else

0:54:470:55:01

It's taken 21 years of my life

0:55:030:55:14

and I'm representing everyone that

0:55:190:55:24

or ever was discouraging in any way. I'm representing those people.

0:55:240:55:28

For Curtis, his classical experience

0:55:280:55:32

The whole experience was incredible.

0:55:320:55:36

It's made me think of music

0:55:390:55:42

It's made me think of everything

0:55:420:55:44

Classical music, it's a great genre, man. It's great music, man.

0:55:490:55:51

For me, it's mission complete.

0:55:550:55:58

working with a bunch of guys that had no interest in classical music

0:55:580:56:02

and tear down the stage, man,

0:56:070:56:08

about the future of classical music.

0:56:130:56:16

and the experiences I've had

0:56:160:56:19

for classical music and the history

0:56:190:56:22

Taking people like Sin and Curtis

0:56:250:56:30

to them actually saying to me

0:56:300:56:32

"I would love to come next year
