University Music Committee
Every year the University Music members elects a new committee to the activities within University Music.
The elections take place in our Annual General Meeting, which will take place in November. Teamwork is the most important part of being on the committee. The committee as a whole, and various ‘sub-committees’ formed of a smaller number of people, work best when there is a lot of communication to ensure that activities run smoothly. ​
There are many important events throughout the year, not least our concerts (for all or most of which you will be expected to be available). So, you must make sure that you are able to be fully committed when required (Welcome Week, Auditions Week – week 1 of the academic year, Open Days etc), not only for your specific role. ​
There are several members of staff on the committee and they will work closely with you and assist you in your individual and group roles where appropriate. ​ Do not underestimate the dedication required, but similarly do not underestimate how fun and rewarding an opportunity this can be.
Minutes of the most recent University Music AGM are available to all members - to request a copy please write to us.
