I've completed the quest chain at the Bards College in Skyrim, but can't figure out what to do next. Is there a next? Do I get to play any kind of music in game?
Basically, what's the purpose of the bard?

There isn't any purpose. There is no way to play music in game. You don't get a room in the college or access to anything special. As far as I can tell, the only difference after completing the Bard's College quests is that some guards will refer to you as "Bard" occasionally. |

Actually, the accepted answer is technically wrong. I say technically wrong, because it's a bug that means that completing the bards quest does nothing, when actually you should get a bonus to your speech learning. You're supposed to get the Active Effect 'Gift of the Gab', which lets you develop Speech 15% faster, but it doesn't activate because of yet another bug. See the bugs section here. Hopefully this'll get fixed in a future patch and will work retroactively for those who've already completed the questline. |

Sadly, no playing. There doesn't seem to be a position like arch-mage to aspire to. Caveat: I haven't completed every single quest from every bard that has one, although they seem to fall into the "Help citizens of XX" group of miscellaneous quests. |
