contents The full exploitation of the physics potential of a multi-TeV muon collider will ultimately lie in the detector's ability to cope with unprecedented levels of machine-induced backgrounds. This contribution introduces the MUSIC (MUon System for Interesting Collisions) detector concept and presents its performance in the context of $\sqrt{s}$ = 10 TeV muon-antimuon collisions. The MUSIC detector is designed to mitigate machine-induced background effects while maintaining high efficiency and accuracy in the reconstruction of physics events, in particular in the Higgs boson sector and in the search for new physics. It features an all-silicon tracking system, a semi-homogeneous lead-fluorite crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, an iron-scintillator sampling hadronic calorimeter, and a superconducting magnet providing a 5 T magnetic field. Detailed detector simulations, accounting for the dominant machine-induced backgrounds, demonstrate promising performance in track, muon, photon, electron, and jet reconstruction, as well as jet flavor identification, highlighting the detector's strong potential for high-energy muon collider experiments.
