We are thrilled to announce that acclaimed Classical Pianist Cyrill Ibrahim will be World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens’ new Artist in Residence from September 2025.
Cyrill Ibrahim is an exceptional concert pianist and Royal College of Music graduate, known for his poetic interpretations and distinctive programming. Described by The Daily Telegraph as “one of the most exciting pianists of his generation,” Cyrill has appeared on BBC One’s The One Show, BBC Radio 3, and international concert stages including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and Philharmonie Berlin.
Cyrill is a firm believer in bringing classical music into the mainstream and will support World Heart Beat’s mission to make music accessible to all, enriching lives. The partnership reinforces the music charity’s status as a beacon of musical excellence, whilst putting its world-class music venue, World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, firmly on the London map.
Season of the Song
He will also be performing in our next concert series, Season of the Song, with ‘Harmonie du Soir’ on Friday 26 September; an inspiring and immersive concert season celebrating the human voice in all its expressive beauty—across opera, jazz, folk, world, and contemporary music.
Cyrill Ibrahim said:
“It’s an absolute delight to be Artist in Residence at World Heart Beat; a venue I truly love. I’m grateful for the space to create a concert series that is different, exciting, and innovative, collaborating with artists and building programmes that bring diverse art forms together in an accessible way.
“Alongside these performances, I’m committed to educational projects that inspire young people from all walks of life to discover classical music, helping them experience the beauty, creativity, and sense of possibility it can offer.
“It’s wonderful to see World Heart Beat champion inclusive, forward-thinking programming that moves classical music into the heart of culture and ensures it belongs to everyone.”
