CLASSICAL MUSIC / Upbeat: All together
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.AS far as Upbeat is concerned, there are 365 Music Days every year. But you will not have missed the singling out of two of them, and the official directory alone lists hundreds of National Music Day events this weekend - mostly local, because the accent is on doing rather than consuming. Thousands of this column's readers are doubtless taking part.
For the intrepid and uncommitted, two of the farthest-flung are at the Causeway, Tongue, tomorrow at 6pm (an open-air 'Songs of Praise') and at the top of Snowdon this afternoon where the British Association of Barbershop Singers intends to form the biggest-ever barbershop choir. Londoners can experiment with a four-stage multicultural festival all day tomorrow in the grounds of Chiswick House, with 500 performers ranging from bhangra to opera stars. And you'll find Radio 3 on the hoof around Cheltenham and Classic FM at the Bristol Amphitheatre for an Open Air Spectacular.
