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 their Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in 2000, 250 years after the death of JS Bach, John Eliot Gardiner, the Monteverdi Choir and Baroque Soloists performed all 198 cantatas throughout Europe and in New York.

They were written for every Sunday and feast day in the Church calendar and have been released at intervals over the past 10 years. The 27-volume series ends with these settings of sacred words for Christmas-tide. With 10 top-flight soloists, it brings this awe-inspiring project to a powerful end.
