Supporting the Maestras:
​Proceeds from Amplify 2025 directly contribute to Maestra Music’s ongoing mission to create support, visibility, and community for women and nonbinary musicians.

“It has been amazing to watch the growth of Maestra since we began five years ago, and our annual concert gets bigger and better every year,” said Maestra Founder Georgia Stitt. “Our goal with Amplify is to make Maestra’s mission visible on stage through the songs we program, the artists we hire, the stories we tell, and the community we have built that gathers to celebrate!"

Jessica Ryan added, “I love that Amplify truly walks the walk - our writers, composers, and musicians are Maestras. Our production crew is largely hired from the RISE Directory. Our creative team is entirely comprised of women and nonbinary folks, all working at the top of their crafts. It’s an electric experience on all sides of the theatre. ​ ​

ABOUT MAESTRA
​Maestra Music, Inc. was founded by composer/lyricist and music director Georgia Stitt to provide support, visibility, and community to the women and nonbinary people who make the music in the musical theater industry. Maestra envisions a world in which women and nonbinary people have equitable access, visibility, and creative impact in the musical theater industry. In this future, at least half of all music-related theater jobs and leadership roles are filled by qualified women and nonbinary musicians, decidedly inclusive of people of color. These musicians are historically and consistently under-represented in musical theatre. By delivering on our mission, we will be a catalyst and driving force to help achieve gender equity in our business. In 2023, Maestra built a program called RISE (Representation, Inclusion, and Support for Employment) that seeks to build a more equitable and inclusive theatre industry. RISE centralizes DEIA tools and resources through a network of partners and a national personnel directory that focuses on folks from underrepresented backgrounds, including but not limited to people of color, women, trans, nonbinary, deaf, and disabled theatre professionals. Maestra Music, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization based in New York. www.maestramusic.org
