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.

Festival of Britten (Barbican, 071-638 8891, today). A Sunday sequence of talks, films, chamber music and (at 7.30pm) the big concert with the LSO.

Da Capo (Royal Academy of Music, 071-487 2763, from tomorrow). A week of reckoning for composers who studied at the Academy: Richard Rodney Bennett, David Bedford, John Tavener and more squeezed into concerts that run end to end, from tomorrow to Fri.

La Damnation de Faust (ROH, 071- 240 1066, from tomorrow). Potentially spectacular production by Harry Kupfer of Berlioz's Legende dramatique. Berlioz specialist Colin Davis conducts a strong cast.

Passion and Resurrection (Westminster Abbey, 071-928 8800, Thurs). Jonathan Harvey's liturgical drama, written for Winchester Cathedral and resurrected here by Martin Neary.

Stephen Hough (Wigmore Hall, 071- 935 2141, Sat). One of the very best British pianists around in a typically wide-ranging programme that runs from Byrd to Corigliano.
