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.Remember the ITV classic series The World at War, and how its music was so indelibly part of the images? Carl Davis's score was typical of his magpie-like approach, borrowing from suitably relevant composers (Shostakovich in that instance) to create an emotionally resonant accompaniment to the screen images. Tonight, he turns his attention to the epic 1921 classic, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in a live accompaniment to a screening of the film. Rudolph Valentino, in the starring role, is sent to fight as a French soldier in the trenches of the First World War. It's a powerfully realised film with a strong anti-war message, and should prove a magnificent aural and visual event.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Carl Davis & the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Festival Hall, London SE1 (0171-960 4242), tonight, 7.30pm
