At the moment, Hucbald has eight active (and two non-active) committees:
- Alumnico
- Educo
- Feestco
- Introco
- Koorco
- Poco
- Reisco
- Siteco
The Alumni committee has its main focus on matters regarding graduated musicologists, for which we use the beautiful word "alumni". They make sure that the alumni can stay in touch with the study association. They organize the annual "Alumni-day", where alumni can meet each other as well as other students. This day is important for the soon-to-be musicologists to get a glimpse of what their future might look like. The committee also contributes to the so-called "company-day", where students can have a look at their potential future working field.
The 2023-2024 Alumni committee consists of:
| Maartje Butter | Chair |
| Noah Lefébure | Secretary |
| Thijs Scholte | Treasurer |
| Caya van Toorn | Alumni member |
As the name implies, the Culture and Education committee focuses on organizing educational activities: readings, workshops, symposia, and other fun and educational things. The readings take place twice a year, the symposium once during Spring, and in between there will be many other interesting and fantastic activities taking place.
The 2023-2024 Culture and Education committee consists of:
| Fenna Mulder | Chair |
| Fjaere van Diederen | Secretary |
| John Haasdijk | Treasurer |
| Kiara van Seters | Chief location and logistics |
The Party and Activities committee provides the majority of the fun and convivial acitivities of Hucbald. They organize annual recurring activities, like movie nights, a Christmas brunch, a Sinterklaas-themed drinking night, but also pub quizzes, and a night of karaoke. Thanks to the feestco, study association Hucbald is provided with all kinds of fun and pleasant parties and activities all year round, to escape the busy study life.
The 2023-2024 Party and Activities committee consists of:
| Remy Mastbroek | Chair |
| Hannah Roest | Secretary |
| Sven van Unen | Treasurer |

The Introduction committee provides a warm welcome for the new first-year students. The committee is responsible for the orientation days, the matching days, and other introductory activities. Ofcourse they organize the introduction camp: a week where many musicologists still have fantastic memories of! The introco really enjoys organizing all these activities. Together they ensure that all the first-year students quickly feel at home and in place within the study, but also within Hucbald ofcourse. Read more over here!

The Choir committee has the big task to organize the Memorial Concert, annually taking place on the 4th of May in Utrecht. The first activity organized by the koorco is the choir workshop at the beginning of the academic year, to encourage and enthuse members of Hucbald to participate in the choir. Preperations for the choir project then begin and certain pieces are chosen, as well as the arrangement for a conductor and rehearsels. Besides the choir, there is also an amateur orchestra being formed who accompany the choir during the Memorial Concert.
The 2023-2024 Choir committee consists of:
| Eva Kalsbeek | Chair |
| Nate Zwang | Secretary |
| Jorian de Vries | Treasurer |
| Annefleur Vis | Chief Choir and Orchestra |
| Leonie Gareman | PR-commissaris |
| Olaf van der Aart | Artistiek leider en dirigent |
The Stage committee organizes four open stage nights a year, of which one is a Classical stage night. The study musicology is not really focused on making music, so these stage nights are the ultimate opportunity to show your musical talents to fellow students. You are completely free to do or perform whatever you want: everything is possible, nothing is weird, and anybody can participate.
Besides individual performances there is also the so-called "Hucband"; these are members of Hucbald who come together a few times per period to rehearse together, and eventually perform something on the open stage nights. For example in the Parnassos cultural centre or at "Klein Berlijn". In short, beautiful and fun musical nights.
The 2023-2024 Stage committee consists of:
| Coen van Baalen | Chair |
| Kelvin Kanne | Secretary |
| Lieven Taverne | Treasurer |
| Livia Perron | Chief location and logistics |
| Kiki Munnichs | Chief PR |

Ieder jaar vertrekken studenten Muziekwetenschap in de onderwijsvrije week tussen blok 3 en 4 naar een buitenlandse bestemming. De reisco regelt alle zaken voor deze reis: van de vlieg- of treintickets en het hostel tot de looproutes tussen de activiteiten. In voorgaande jaren zijn we onder andere naar Parijs, Budapest, Glasgow, Lissabon, Wenen, Madrid, Rome, Praag en Dublin geweest.

- Hucband
- Fotogilde
De Hucband is een groep Hucbaldianen die het leuk vinden om af en toe samen te jammen en muziek te maken. Om mee te doen is het de bedoeling dat Hucbandleden aanwezig zijn bij de repitities en optreden op de open podia.
De fotogilde is een groepje enthousiaste leden die onze activiteiten graag vastleggen. Gewapend met camera's schieten ze de mooiste plaatjes, die gebruikt worden op onze website, sociale media en onze nieuwsbrief. Hun emailadres is fotosvanhucbald@gmail.com.
