In the first episode, Fazer goes to a hip hop night with a classical quartet to gauge how big the gap between classical and urban music really is. He sets out to recruit his young band, all of which have one thing in common - they think classical music is boring and for old posh people. As the group gets to work writing their track for the Urban Classic Prom alongside classical musicians from the orchestra, Fazer takes them to the Royal Albert Hall and the young musicians quickly realise the scale of the task at hand.

The group also hang out with the Thames Youth Orchestra to see how they roll and how much they can learn on a musical instrument in a day. With the concert of a lifetime looming close, emotions run high as the Seven Chapters undertake their final rehearsals with the full 85-piece BBC Symphony Orchestra. As the big night arrives, nerves and excitement abound as the young performers take the stage to follow performances by Wretch 32, Laura Mvulu, Lady Leshurr, Maverick Sabre, Jacob Banks and their mentor Fazer.
