The Amplify 2025 concert held March 31 at Sony Hall was a banner fundraiser for Maestra Music, the Obie-winning nonprofit founded by Georgia Stitt to support women and nonbinary musicians in the musical theatre industry.
The evening raised more than $135,000, with final totals to be tallied once the online auction closes later this month.
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 closed out Women’s History Month.
At the concert, Grammy winner Sara Bareilles performed "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, performed 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 showcased a number from Death Becomes Her; and Khalia Wilcoxon took the stage with "Little Redwood" from Redwood, written by Tina Landau and Kate Diaz.

Jordan Fisher performed "Waiting for Life" by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Antwayn Hopper and Zeniba Now performed her song, "I Believe," from The Loophole, which she wrote with Jay Adana, and Anu Mysore uplifted audiences with "Higher" from MĀYĀ by Cheeyang Ng and Eric Sorrels.
Music director Julianne B. Merrill led 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.
Amplify 2025 was 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, Concord Theatricals, Disney Theatricals, and Grove Entertainment.
