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.WHAT WITH all the excitement over the Proms, it's easy to overlook some really excellent summer musical events. One that should not be missed is the London Masterclasses. Organised over the past 10 years by pianist Norma Fischer, the event, which begins today and lasts throughout the week, brings together eminent musicians, including tenor Stuart Burrows (today's masterclass), cellist Ralph Kirshbaum, violinist Grigori Zhislin and conductor Benjamin Zander. It's a truly rare opportunity to see great music in the making.

And what about a bit of Mozart to spice up a summer evening? British Youth Opera perform a fully staged version of Cosi fan tutte tonight (in English). Best of all, tickets are just a fiver.-
