Jake Collins

People's Light debut. Jake Collins is a music director, pianist, and educator currently based in Philadelphia. He's had the opportunity to work with many theatre companies and education programs throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, including Walnut Street Theatre, Power Street Theatre, Arcadia University, and Temple University. In 2022, he received my BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College, where he used his training as a performer to shape his approach to music direction. Jake's music services extend beyond the conductor’s chair – he is also an avid vocal arranger, orchestrator, and copyist. He loves the process of crafting new work or reimagining old classics, tailoring each piece to an ensemble’s unique strengths. One of his main goals as a musician is to allow everybody to feel empowered and welcomed in the rehearsal room. Website: https://jakecollinsmusic.com
