Sarah Pool Wilhelm

Biography

I am currently the Music Director of the North American Tour of my favorite show: COME FROM AWAY, which wraps up in May 2025. I also serve as a repertoire manager and recording artist for Appcompanist.

Home for now is currently in Rochester, NY where I have been a Music Director, accompanist, and vocal coach in regional theaters and local universities. I had the opportunity to music direct shows with a baton such as INTO THE WOODS and CURTAINS at Nazareth University and from behind the piano such as CINDERELLA at Geva Theatre Center and THE SPITFIRE GRILL at SUNY Geneseo.

Rochester is also where I got to work on my first new work - SOMEWHERE OVER THE BORDER by Brian Quijada - as copyist, assistant music director, and keyboard/conductor at Syracuse Stage and Geva. I have continued to be Brian's copyist, currently working on his and Nygel D. Robinson's live-looping show, MEXODUS.

Before moving to Rochester, I was the Associate MD on the tour of SOMETHING ROTTEN!, did some regional and summer stock theater, and I have my Master’s degree in Vocal Coaching from Oklahoma City University.
