Our Mission
To transform lives through exceptional music education, professional training, and performance opportunities, empowering every young person to thrive through music.
A world where every young person, regardless of background, can discover and nurture their musical talent within a global community united by the power of music, where creativity, diversity, and passion flourish.
At World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, we provide a world-class venue, friendly café, and premier recording studio, fostering musical innovation, global collaboration, and hands-on learning in live sound and audio production, and opening doors for young people in the music industry.
Our Charity
The charity’s music academy began with just 70 students being taught in a converted warehouse space at Kimber Road in Southfields, Wandsworth. Bursting at the seams with over 320 students, we are delighted to now have a second music education centre in Embassy Gardens, Nine Elms, Battersea.
Two Sites, More Impact
Across our two sites, our expanded academy enables us to benefit more children and young people than ever before, retaining our commitment to remove barriers through the provision of bursaries and free instruments to all those who need them. It will also be the base for expanding our work with schools and community organisations in Nine Elms, particularly engaging children and young people living in difficult circumstances.
Outstanding Facilities
The high-tech facilities at World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens will enable us to extend our EMERGE programme, and offer music industry skills training, including sound engineering, lighting and audio production — all delivered with our prestigious industry partners. The industry-standard recording studios will allow us to record young artists at the start of their careers, and is also available for hire.
London’s Newest Concert Hall
Our state-of-the-art concert hall has a busy programme of concerts featuring diverse, emerging and international musicians, giving audiences a unique, up-close experience of the musicians.
Growing up through music
World Heart Beat is a vibrant, joyful and thriving home for musicians of all ages, a place to learn, progress and grow, to experience the very best live music.
