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.Music for an imaginary ballet by pianist Misha Alperin, performed by the trio and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra.
The theme is a medieval rural wedding, inspired partly by the films of Sergei Paradjanov, and partly by Alperin's experience playing in Moldavian wedding bands. There's an oddly appropriate sense of Aaron Copland-ish prairie hoedown to some of the sections, and while reed-warbler Sergey Starostin's bird-calls remain an aquired taste, the strings are thrilling.
