Phi Mu Alpha SinfoniaSinfonia was born on October 6, 1898 at the New England Conservatory in Boston, when a group of thirteen young men met under the guidance of Ossian Everett Mills. Mills, bursar of the Conservatory, sought to create an Order in which men with a shared love of music could develop the virtues of manhood in themselves and in their fellows. Sinfonia became a national fraternity on October 6, 1900, with the admission of a group of men at the Broad Street Conservatory in Philadelphia. Since that time Sinfonia has grown into the largest music fraternity in the world, with more than 150,000 initiates, and chapters on over 200 college and university campuses across the nation, including the Beta Kappa chapter which was founded here at Coe College on November 1, 1930.For over a century, Sinfonians in nearly every field of study and professional endeavor have transformed the face of music in America. Today, the Brotherhood represents a diverse group of individuals spanning the nation, who continue the proud tradition of advancing the Fraternity’s Object: “the development of the best and truest fraternal spirit; the mutual welfare and brotherhood of musical students; the advancement of music in America and a loyalty to the Alma Mater.”Sinfonia has always been an integral part of the Coe College Jazz Summit, providing stage and logistical assistance, as well as financial support, for the festival. Jazz Summit grew out of the Horizons Jazz Festival, which was an official activity of the Beta Kappa Chapter.
