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.

Hindemith's music can sound academic and dry, too good for the brain to be good for the soul. Yet this artfully chosen programme of the Organ Sonatas, "Zwei Stücke für Orgel, Kleine Kammermusik für fünf bläser No. 2" and the miniature organ concerto, "Kammermusik No. 7", is played with suavity and tenderness by organist Daniel Hyde and the Britten Sinfonia. The new organ of Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge, sounds pure and sweet, while Nicholas Daniel's serpentine oboe charms the ear.
