As many of you know, I am a brother of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the world’s oldest and largest secret national fraternal society in music. While on the surface, Sinfonia may appear to be just another college fraternity, we are in fact an order that has had profound effect on Music in America for 125 years. Whether you realize it or not, Sinfonia has had substantial impact on Music in America and by effect American Culture. Beyond that impact, Sinfonians are some of the best people I know, working to unite a divided world through harmony every day. Obviously, I feel very deeply about this organization. I currently find time in between my world travels to serve as Province Governor for Province 26 (Central/Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois) & Treasurer for the Central Iowa Area Alumni Association. If any brother reading this wants the next generation of collegiate members to have access to the same programming and experiences we had, I implore you to donate what you can to this campaign. If any non-Sinfonian values the experiences they have had through music, I encourage you to donate to our campaign as well! Thank you for your consideration, and may your 2025 develop the best and truest Fraternal Sprit, enhance the mutual welfare and brotherhood of musical students, advance Music in America, and be Loyal to your Alma Mater.
