Music Upbeat: Passing by
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.SCOTLAND has the highest-events in Witold Lutoslawski's current working visit to Britain: he conducts the Royal Scottish Orchestra in three of his own works, including the Piano Concerto with Paul Crossley, in Edinburgh (16 October) and Glasgow (17 October). But Londoners can catch him next Friday lunchtime conducting a free concert at the Barbican Hall, again with an all-Lutoslawski programme. This is part of a week-long visit to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama next door, where he is rehearsing the Guildhall's orchestra for the concert, giving classes, and presenting the first annual Lutoslawski Composition Prize - awarded (by adjudicator John McCabe) to Fraser Trainer for The Scheme of Things, a piece for chamber ensemble and singers.
