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.

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra / Valery Gergiev

Set to repeat the success of their Tchaikovsky Iolanta last December, Gergiev, the RPO and soloists from the Mariinsky Theatre, St Petersburg present the UK premiere of Rimsky-Korsakov's fairy-tale one-act opera Kashchey the Immortal (in concert performance). Barbican

Us 3

That's 'Us Three' as in 'We Three', not 'United States Three' or 'Oui Three'. One of the better jazz/hip hop acts, not just because of their access to the Blue Note Catalogue for samples, but becasue they're cool and can rap. Astoria

Angelique Kidjo

From Benin, a diva. Never mind the terrible mess they make of the remixes on her new single 'Agolo', feel the vibe live.

7pm Fri, Highgate Rd, NW5 (071-284 2200) pounds 10.50. Forum
