Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SOMEBODY at the Highbury Festival, in north London, must have had premonitions: they have slipped in a concert of local forces under the LSO's conductor-elect Sir Colin Davis. It's unusual indeed to see musicians of this stature working in 'neighbourhood' surroundings. This concert (at Christ Church on 17 June, in aid of the National Children's Home) includes a Haydn symphony, the Mozart Coronation Mass, and a new piece by the festival's artistic director Scott Stroman.
Then again, the whole event has expanded rapidly from last year's start. Jazz and rock, black music and British folk, rub shoulders with chamber and contemporary concerts and a male voice choir from Wales. Opening night 11 June; box-office 071-704 2165.
