Music Society: Treasurer

Hello! I’m Chris and I would love to be Music Society treasurer next year because I have loved being part of symphony and string orchestra last year and I want to help run and enable others to have similar great experiences. I’ve made great memories with Music society and it’s been the highlight of my time at UCL. I’m going into my second year studying History and German but my greatest passion is music and the cello.

I greatly enjoy being string orchestra manager this year and have experience working in the committee, organising concerts, socials, setting up for rehearsal, getting biscuits and printing off lots of music! I’d be proactive in dealing with problems that inevitably arise and am organised and confident with spreadsheets.

My priority as treasurer would be to ensure that members are getting value for their money and that it is being spent wisely and that the concerts are enjoyable for all. I’ll work hard to make sure that the music society can provide its members with great socials, venues, experiences and rehearsals (by form of more biscuits!). Thanks.

I am standing for treasurer for the next academic year, mainly because I want to be more involved with the UCL music scheme. I am currently a freshman and a member of the music society, and my relationship with music comes through playing the piano. Because of this, there have not been many opportunities for me to get involved this year. During the societies fair at the beginning of the year, I attempted multiple times to see what I could do as a pianist for UCL music, and it turns out it was not much. The chamber choir rehearsal role was the only one I was made aware of, and as a hopeful committee member next year, I hope to be able to change that. I wish to represent all pianists that would like to make more of an impact on UCL music, and I think that the best way for myself personally, is to do that through becoming a committee member via the role of the treasurer. My academic knowledge from the Econ and Stats degree I currently take should assure people of my abilities to function well as the treasurer. Additionally, given my passion and involvement in music over the years, I will devote as much time as need be to complete my role well.
