If students enjoy the smooth
sounds ofMiles Davis and Charlie
Parker and like attending Charles
Dutiot conducting Saint-Saens at
the Kimmel Center then they will
love the Bucks Music Society.
Jeff Baumeister, a music professor
as well as an accomplished
jazz pianist, is the adviser.
“As of right now there are no
members,” said Baumeister when
asked about upcoming club
events. “The officers graduated
from Bucks and no one has yet to
step up and take the lead.”
The main goal of the Music Society
is to organize and sponsor
performances by local, national,
and internationally recognized
musicians. The club also puts on
“mini concerts” in the Bucks cafeteria
on a regular basis.
The club was founded in 2004
by students. Baumeister was approached
to be the adviser by the
founding students. The club has
run well for five years and this is
the first time Baumeister has
started a semester with no members.
“In my five years of advising
the club,” said the Bucks professor,
“This is the first time I have
had to hold out on planning events
due to lack of members.”
If students are interested in joining
or curious about what the club
is about, check it out. The Music
Society has lots of information
available online at the Bucks website
and also on Facebook.
