In 1985, Dr. Collins established an Artist Management business, Mary Ella Collins and Associates. MECA represented a select roster of classical singers, conductors, and directors, nationally and abroad. Artists on the roster have achieved notoriety including a bass that has sung featured roles in nine successive full seasons with the Metropolitan Opera, and artists in leading roles with major companies for operas and orchestras worldwide.
Her leadership abilities as a visionary are combined with analytic and inductive reasoning, abstract thinking, problem solving, and creative abilities. She was sought for consultations by organizations and individuals from varied professions for her keen insights and these qualities.
Dr. Collins held a Ph.D. from the University of North Texas (Higher Education Administration; Music Teaching Field), Master of Music from UNT, graduate study in Music Therapy, and a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from the University of Illinois.
Dr. Collins' many humanitarian experiences ranged from training in music therapy, medical and dental assistance, to serving on boards of medical societies. She served on Guilds and Boards of many Arts Nonprofits, including The Dallas Opera (Guild Chair of Community Outreach), Dallas Symphony, Dallas Theatre Center, and Musical Angels (Board Consultant).
Mary Ella passed on to her heavenly home in September, 2020. Her musical influence is still carrying on.
