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.

A NUMBER of world-class singers have already stepped through the Wigmore Hall's doors in the fortnight since the new season began. And now comes the legendary Spanish diva Teresa Berganza. Accompanied by Juan Antonio Alvarez Parejo, the mezzo-soprano airs native repertoire by Granados, Turina and Halffter, as well as further songs by Mussorgsky, Brahms and Rossini.

The exciting young ensemble Psappha turns its attention to Frank Zappa (right), with four of the American iconoclast's key compositions which have been specially arranged for the group by Philip Cashian. Aside from the Zappa, there's also room for John Adams's recent quirky Clarinet Concerto, "Gnarly Buttons", with Dov Goldberg taking the solo line.
