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.CHANCES are rare to hear Berlioz's Symphonie funebre et triomphale, the massive and splendid piece he wrote for bands on the march to a military memorial ceremony. If anyone can get the forces together it has to be the British Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles, whose members just happen to be sharing a conference with the European String Teachers Association today - the 150th anniversary of the premiere of Berlioz's even bigger version with strings and chorus. The combined forces may not exactly look authentic, being seated indoors. But they are due to deliver, rain or shine, at the end of tonight's concert at the University of Warwick (starts 6.30pm: box office 0203 524524).
