Upbeat: Sing it and see
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.FOR choirs that want to lift their sights beyond the annual round of Messiah and St Matthew, things are not always so easy. They can browse through the catalogues, but that can be a lucky dip. One answer, at least for members, is to use the accumulated wisdom of the National Federation of Music Societies, but a new approach is to emerge this autumn in the form of a Choral Repertoire Roadshow.
Several well-known conductors and choral experts, including Ronald Corp, Simon Halsey and Barry Rose, will be turning up in town to run free, all-day sing-through and advice sessions. Four publishers are backing the show, under the banner of the Association of British Choral Directors, and it will carry a large exhibition of scores with sales and order points. First destinations are Regents College, London (26 September), the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester (10 October), and the University of Warwick Arts Centre (24 October). All conductors and choir members are welcome: details from 0732 452302.
