Committee
CUSO is a fully student run orchestra, and relies on the hard work of the committee to keep things running smoothly. The committee comprises the chairman, secretary, treasurer, concert manager, publicity and librarian; the conductors and leader of the orchestra also sit on the committee. The orchestra's affairs are overseen by the Senior Treasurer, Dr Paul Wingfield of Trinity College.
