Welcome to the June/July edition of Muso, in our latest issue you'll meet some exciting newcomers to the woodwind world; clarinettist Sarah Williamson talks about recording her favourite concertos and performing under a burkha, while oboist Alexei Ogrintchouk describes the thrill of commissioning new music for his instrument. We also speak to woodwind fivesome the St James Quintet and Portuguese saxophonists QuadQuartet.

Elsewhere, the Muso tour bus stops off in Berlin to discover an eclectic music scene where 'raw' opera, experimentalism and innovation come to flourish. We travel to Oslo, Norway, to file a report from one of the biggest international violin contests, the Menuhin Competition and investigate the latest musical zeitgeist; classical stand-up (yes, really).
