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.

Based in Cleveland, Ohio, the period-instruments orchestra Apollo's Fire was founded in 1992.

Thanks to a new contract, the Mid-west's best-kept musical secret is finally reaching British ears. Conductor Jeannette Sorrell presents an elegantly proportioned "Symphony No 40", with an attractively immediate woodwind sound; the French-influenced "Chaconne" from Idomeneo is vividly characterised and "Parto, m'affretto" (from Lucio Silla) showcases coloratura soprano Amanda Forsythe – a voice to remember.
