CLASSICAL MUSIC / Upbeat: Over there
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.THE de-Americanisation of conductors' podia in Britain is gathering pace. Already we have John Mauceri off from Scottish Opera, and then Andrew Litton leaving Bournemouth to follow Eduardo Mata at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Now comes the other side of Michael Tilson Thomas's role-swap at the London Symphony Orchestra: he is going to be music director of the San Francisco Symphony from September 1995, succeeding Herbert Blomstedt, who will become San Francisco's music director laureate. There's still traffic the other way, just about, though Kent Nagano's arrival at the Halle is the sequel to a stop-over in France.
