Committees of the Academic year 2025-2026
Our committee is elected democratically at the annual general meeting (AGM) every year. Each of them are dedicated to a particular role/area of the society, and therefore are the backbone of its operations, each playing a vital role in fostering musical excellence and community engagement. Together, the committee aims for two goals: complete the gold accreditation set by Bristol SU, and create a vibrant, well-rounded a cappella experience for you.
