The 2026 Amplify concert brings together Maestras from across the nation for an unforgettable evening of electrifying performances, vibrant networking, and inspiring moments—spotlighting the women and gender-expansive musicians who help power the American theatre industry.

ABOUT MAESTRA

Structural inequities in training, hiring, and accessibility have long limited underrepresented artists, including women and gender-expansive musicians, from full participation in the professional life of the theatre. Founded in 2017 by acclaimed composer, lyricist, and music director Georgia Stitt, Maestra Music believes that creative excellence and cultural equity are inseparable—and demand sustained intervention. Through Maestra’s Directory, mentorship, and advocacy, as well as through our RISE Directory and network partners, we provide support, visibility, and community for our members and allies—along with year-round programming designed to build lasting models for equity across the theatre industry.
