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.What is the sound of four hands clapping? One possible answer is Clapping Music, American minimalist master Steve Reich's seminal showpiece of two-person body-percussion.
And this week, in a rare series of appearances, the 76-year-old composer performs this most portable icon of 1970s systems music by way of a pattern-shifting prelude to a London Sinfonietta tour that also includes the world premiere of Reich's Radio Rewrite, inspired by Radiohead, and more.
