CLASSICAL MUSIC / Upbeat: New tunes
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.IF you really always wanted to play or sing contemporary music but don't know where to learn the tricks, there's a week-long gathering in Yorkshire at the late summer holiday that may point you in some new directions. 'Contemporary Music- making for Amateurs' offers sessions with Mary King, Daryl Runswick, John Tilbury, Diana Burrell and Judith Weir, among others (the presence of the radically minded Tilbury should ensure that awkward questions get asked about missing parts of the spectrum). Regional arts boards have been offering bursaries for residents, and there are still spaces left - flutes, clarinets and double-basses are particularly welcome. Details from 081-980 1527.
