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.DURING its 21-year history the group has received more than 20 major international awards for its recordings: they include the complete string quartets of Beethoven, Brahms, Berg, Webern, Bartok, and the later quartets of Mozart and Schubert. The players are currently Associate Artists at the South Bank Centre in London. In 1991 they made their first professional visit to the then Soviet Union, and since then there have been high-profile engagements in Vienna, Zurich and Paris. Recent recordings include 10 Mozart quartets and the quartet's live Beethoven cycle for EMI.
