Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia- Mu Chapter

fonia became a national fraternity on October 6, 1900, with the admission of a group of men at the Broad Street Conservatory in Philadelphia. For over a century, Sinfonians in nearly every field of study and professional endeavor have transformed music in America. The opportunity of becoming a Sinfonian is offered to as many men as possible who, through a love for music, can assist in the fulfillment of the Fraternity’s Object and ideals either by adopting music as a profession, or by working to advance the cause of music in America.

The Restoration of Sinfonia's Object

"Wise words to make men wiser; good words to make men better; true words to make men nobler! A new light shines down from above to brighten the realm in which musicians move and have their being. Every Sinfonian should know these thirty-eight words of high sounding character as he knows his scale of C. Upon them - as a fundamental clef -- he should build his life as a man."
