The Independent Recommends: Classical Music
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.THE A CAPELLA sextet, The King's Singers, incredibly notch up their 30th anniversary this year, yet continue to sing out loud with a range of vibrant, up-to-the-minute repertoire, as they team up with virtuoso percusssionist Evelyn Glennie (right). Steve Martland, Michael Gordon, David Horne and even Paul Simon are among the eclectic line-up of composers represented.

Handel fever mounts: the Italian opera seria Rodelinda at Glyndebourne and now, a later, under-aired, English oratorio about another formidable lady - the Old Testament Athalia - in the annual Handel oratorio performance from the prestigious Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music. Staunch Handelian Ivor Bolton conducts his own St James's Baroque Players, the choir of Clare College Cambridge and an impressive quintet of vocal soloists including Lynne Dawson in the title role.
