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.

THE PHILHARMONIA begins its new season under the baton of veteran maestro Kurt Sanderling, the only conductor since Klemperer to be awarded Honorary Membership of the orchestra. Three years ago, Sanderling teamed up with Andras Schiff (right) in the five Beethoven Piano Concertos. Now they turn their attention to the two by Brahms, with the First aired tonight alongside Beethoven's Second Symphony.

Song duets for tenor and baritone are relatively scarce, so it's good to see rising young stars Michael Schade and Russell Braun airing some in their Wigmore Hall recital. The eclectic line-up moves from JC Bach to contemporary Canadian folksong arrangements. Tenor and baritone also give solo numbers, while pianist Carolyn Maule accompanies.
