In the February/March edition of Muso we meet soprano saxophonist Amy Dickson and discover why she’s swapped jazz standards for classical minimalism. We also journey to Glasgow and find out how the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is collaborating with students at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, stopping off at Stoke-on-Trent along the way to meet Britain’s brightest ensemble, the National Youth Orchestra.

Further afield, we speak to American cellist Alisa Weilerstein about her recent gig at the White House and travel to Switzerland to investigate the Lucerne Festival Academy headed up by Pierre Boulez.
