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.
