Among others, this includes tasks such as the preparation of a responsible financial plan with the help of accounting, the approval of everyday expenses, and having regular communications with university administrative departments. He works on clearing away any administrative hurdles that students working on a voluntary basis may encounter and tries to provide them with the best possible conditions to implement their ideas and activities. He also leads and supervises the conductors' four assistants responsible for orchestra and choir, and he is always available to answer any procedural questions they might have or to give them general advice.
