Description of Organization
|
Sinfonia was born 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 students
of that institution" and "to devise ways and means by which it might be
improved." 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. |
