'''Phi Mu Alpha (&Phi;&Mu;&Alpha;) Sinfonia''' (sometimes referred to as "Sinfonia" rather than "&Phi;&Mu;&Alpha;") is a collegiate social fraternity for men of musicianly character.[http://216.239.63.104/search?q=cache:8hl1Dqb0ViIJ:www.sinfonia.org/Resources/writings/Mongiovi/TheManlyMusicianandtheMusicianlyMan.pdf] Today, its many chapters serve to "advance the cause of music in America" on college campuses nationwide.[http://www.sinfonia.org/history.asp]
Under the current review, the [[Boundary Commission]] has recommended that the constituency borders be aligned exactly with the Cannock Chase local government district.
 
==History==
== Member of Parliament ==
Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia was founded in [[1898]] by Ossian Everett Mills and thirteen musical students at the [[New England Conservatory of Music]] in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]] (The name "Sinfonia" comes from the name of a similar organization in [[Leipzig]], [[Germany]]). Sinfonia became a national fraternity on [[October 6]], [[1900]] with the admission of a group of men at the [[Broad Street Conservatory of Music]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]]. Under the guidance of Percy Jewett Burrell (sixth Supreme President, 1907&ndash;1914), whose writings and speeches continue to be influential in the teaching of Sinfonian ideals to this day, the fraternity grew and "truly became a force in American music."
[[Tony Wright (Staffordshire politician)|Tony Wright]] has been the representative for Cannock Chase, and [[Cannock and Burntwood]] constituency before that, since [[1992]].
