LONDON CALLING
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.While the balmy weather nurtures an overwhelming desire in most of us to get out of town, the City of London Festival looks like being one of the few reasons for staying in the capital. The event celebrates the City's variety of musical and cultural life, in historic venues within the Square Mile. Activities range from concerts of orchestral, choral, opera and chamber music, cinema celebrating Dracula's centenary (below), open-air events, jazz, dramatic readings and workshops for schools. One of this year's highlights promises to be the British premiere of Sarajevo Circle, a platform performance of a new musical, born out of the effects of the war in Bosnia. Other must-sees include the acclaimed Uzume Taiko Ensemble from Canada and Japan who beat a path to the festival's newest venue in Spitalfield's Market, and the Gogmagogs (left), "seven virtuoso string players [who] take classical music out of the concert hall and explode onto the stage...".
