It’s been a wonderful few weeks here at World Heart Beat filled with amazing jazz performances!
We’ve just had our first ever concert in a Circus Tent - performing as part of the Wandsworth Arts Fringe! There were 3 sets – the World Heart Beat 2nd Line New Orleans band opened the evening with outstanding jazz repertoire. This was followed by the newly established WHB Rock Band led by Scipio Mosley and Sian Kelly. The evening closed with the very cool band of one of our longstanding students. It was everything we expected and much more! The students had a wonderful evening and we enjoyed being part of the festival.
Our work is only possible through the kind donations and support from our incredible donors. On Thursday 31 May we are having a special lunchtime performance at London’s legendary Jazz Club Ronnie Scott’s. As well as a very exciting opportunity for our students to perform at one of the world’s most famous jazz clubs, this concert is also a unique opportunity for us to meet all our amazing supporters. We know we have very supportive donors through Global Giving and it would be wonderful if some of you could come!
The day after our Ronnie Scott’s performance, we will be joining the Free Friday Music event at The Royal Albert Hall. The public will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious Italian meal at the Verdi Italian Kitchen by the sound of great jazz. Please see the following link for further details:

This coming Saturday 12 May, we are hosting the World Heart Beat Open Day – an afternoon of free taster sessions and live music performance at the Academy. Children between the ages of 5-12 will have the chance to try a range of instruments for free as part of the Wandsworth Arts Fringe Programme. This will be a marvellous opportunity for us to meet new students and their families and we very much hope to engage more students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We at World Heart Beat are so grateful for the superb support we continue to receive from our supporters here on the GlobalGiving's website. Thank you, we really appreciate it!
