In this issue of Muso we catch up with violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain. He tells us about the music of his childhood in Florida, melding classical with hip hop and jazz, and working with DJs, dancers and Philip Glass.

Elsewhere in this strings special we enter the workshops of some of the world's finest instrument makers and meet the American Contemporary Music Ensemble. We also catch up with composers Lukas Ligeti and Rob Kapilow and 'the pope's maestro', Sir Gilbert Levine.

Ever wanted to make music for video games? We tell you how. Plus, we visit Nashville and the Pennsylvania Academy of Music, check out the Met Opera's Live in HD movie theater scheme, and focus on music competitions.

All this - plus the latest news, reviews and great competition prizes.
