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.From its fearless high tenors to its lowest basses, the DCC has a sound as dark as midnight and as vast as Russia.
This is a disc to listen to when the children are safely tucked up in bed: a glittering, incense-heavy Christmas Vespers of stern intonations, defiant choruses, a single, gentle lullaby and bone-shattering bells. Though conductor Marcel Verhoeff is Dutch, authenticity is all, as the vocal soloists are joined by priests from four different churches in the bottomless acoustic of the Church of the Veil of the Mother of God.
