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.

Here is something for all concertgoers salivating at the prospect of Sir Colin's upcoming Sibelius cycle with the LSO this autumn. The opening and closing bars of Walton's shattering first symphony owe more than a slight debt to the Finnish symphonic master. In between, Walton whipped up his orchestral masterpiece from the throbbing, inexorable tension of the first movement to the exultant final fugue, not to mention the love- strewn romanticism of the luscious slow movement and a scherzo marked "With malice". All that and Midori playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto.
