About Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia

Sinfonia was founded on October 6, 1898 at the New England Conservatory in Boston when a group of thirteen young men under the guidance of Ossian Everett Mills met "to consider the social life of the young men of that institution" and "to devise ways and means by which it might be improved." Mills, the bursar of the Conservatory, sought to create a fraternal order in which men with a shared love of music could develop the virtues of manhood in themselves and in their fellows.

When a group of men at the Broad Street Conservatory in Philadelphia was admitted into its ranks on October 6, 1900, Sinfonia became a national fraternity. Later adopting the Greek letters "Phi Mu Alpha," Sinfonia has since grown into the largest music fraternity in the world, with more than 150,000 initiates and with chapters on over two hundred college and university campuses across the United States.
