The Amplify 2025 concert is held March 31 at Sony Hall. The event benefits Maestra Music, the Obie-winning nonprofit founded by Georgia Stitt to support women and nonbinary musicians in the musical theatre industry.

Directed by Jessica Ryan (Between Riverside and Crazy) and hosted by Tony nominee L Morgan Lee (A Strange Loop) and Tony nominee Kate Baldwin, the annual concert closes out Women’s History Month.

At the concert, Grammy winner Sara Bareilles is performing "Enough" from her new musical The Interestings, co-written with Sarah Ruhl, and Grammy-winning Mexican singer-songwriter Joy Huerta, of the internationally acclaimed duo Jesse & Joy, will perform a selection from Real Women Have Curves, with additional performances from Aziza Miller and Lily Ling on piano, accompanying Tony winner Kecia Lewis in "Price, Bond, and Scott" and "Authors of Forever" from Hell's Kitchen by Alicia Keys; Julia Mattison showcasing a number from Death Becomes Her; and Khalia Wilcoxon will take the stage with "Little Redwood" from Redwood, written by Tina Landau and Kate Diaz.

Jordan Fisher is set to perform "Waiting for Life" by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Antawyn Hopper and Zeniba Now will perform her song, "I Believe," from The Loophole, which she wrote with Jay Adana, and Anu Mysore will uplift audiences with "Higher" from MĀYĀ by Cheeyang Ng and Eric Sorrels.

Music director Julianne B. Merrill is leading a band composed entirely of Maestra members, with Elena Bonomo on drums, Ann Klein on guitar, and Yuka Tadano on bass.

The annual concert celebrates the power of representation, creativity, and collaboration in the performing arts through the stories, voices, and talents of Broadway’s top performers, composers, and music directors while championing diversity and inclusion across the industry.

“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 Stitt in a previous statement. “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!"

Proceeds will support Maestra Music’s ongoing mission to create support, visibility, and community for women and nonbinary musicians.

Amplify 2025 is produced by Stitt, Carrie Caffrey, Laura Ivey, and Whitney Britt. The event is presented in partnership with All Together Now and Patchmaster and supported by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Concord Theatricals, Disney Theatricals, and Grove Entertainment.
