About Me


Muso is the groundbreaking magazine for the younger, more open-minded generation of classical music fans.
We believe in an open-minded and inclusive approach to all kinds of music. Classical music gets a lot of bad press (a bunch of pretentious old gits trying to impress each other with how much they know about it) but Muso gives it the vibrant, fun and colourful image it deserves.
Designed for young professional musicians, students or music enthusiasts wanting to keep up with the latest news and gossip, Muso provides essential advice on courses and careers as well as celebrity interviews and great competitions.
Regular sections include travel pieces, profiles of universities and conservatoires, suggestions on how to spend or save your cash, career guides and articles on more alternative aspects of musical life. We also bring you hot gossip from the classical world, opinion from top music professionals and all the talent you can handle with our G Spot centrefold.
