Nine Elms’ premier boutique concert hall, World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens, has announced its 2026 live music programme. The new season promises an eclectic journey through jazz, classical, blues, and world music, all showcased within a state-of-the-art venue equipped with the world-leading d&b Soundscape system.
A Mission Beyond the Music
