Urban Classic was a meeting of musical cultures that brought together some of the biggest names from the UK urban underground with the orchestral forces of the BBC Concert Orchestra in a pioneering live event. Grime producer DaVinChe and jazz musician Jason Yarde joined forces with conductor Charles Hazlewood, who led the BBC Concert Orchestra alongside seven UK grime artists to create a musical suite of grime, hip hop and classical music.
Alongside illustrative performances of this innovative work, the session will be introduced by BBC 1Xtra DJ Iyare, and include conversations with BBC Radio 3 Controller Roger Wright and Ray Paul, 1Xtra's Executive Producer of Specialist And Live Events, as well as several of the key artists.
