Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's Music Symposia

During the Spring 2008 and Spring 2009 semesters, the Mu Gamma chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia hosted the 1st and 2nd Annual ASU Music Symposia. The 1st Music Symposium brought American composers/arrangers Mark Rogers, Donald Grantham, and William Funk together for two nights of discussing their perspectives in composition, while the 2nd Music Symposium brought music educators Jacqueline Henninger, Harris Brinson, Cindy Bulloch, and Dennis Hopkins for two nights of discussing topics and controversial issues in music education. As a result of the 1st ASU Music Symposium, the brothers of Phi Mu Alpha received a prestigous award from their local province: the Citation for Special Projects. The brotherhood hopes to continue this beneficial event in future years in hopes of building a strong network base and enhancing the musical experience at Angelo State University, long after the brothers that created it have moved on.

Sorentin International Young Artists Competition

Each November, the San Angelo Symphony Orchestra hosts their Annual Sorantin Young Arts Competition on the campus of Angelo State University. 2009 marks the 50th year for the San Angelo Symphony and this wonderful event, bringing pianists and string players from all over the world for a weekend of incredible musical prowess. The brothers of Phi Mu Alpha help to keep the event running smoothly by serving as house management for the performances, showing the performers around campus, and hanging banners in Downtown San Angelo to promote the event.  Also, after the final concert is through on Saturday night, all Sinfonians in attendance celebrate in the lobby by singing some of our Sinfonia songs and eating at a local resturant. Through the Sorantin competition, we are helping to benefit both ourselves and the community of San Angelo, and are very grateful for the opportunity presented.
