About This Event
As part of NY Music Month, an initiative of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media + Entertainment, discover the power of support, visibility, and community in musical theatre at a panel discussion exploring how Maestra Music fosters connection through its programming and directories. Event in partnership with Disney Theatrical and with support by Kendra Scott. This event is being livestreamed.
Originating in early 2017, Maestra Music emerged from informal gatherings led by Composer/Lyricist and Music Director, Georgia Stitt. Georgia's experiences as the Music Director for the Off-Broadway revival of Sweet Charity unveiled a glaring issue: the invisibility of women musicians. Over the past year, Maestra Music's impact has expanded, including the development of a partnership Directory with MUSE (Musicians United for Social Equity) and the introduction of the RISE Theatre Directory. Developed in collaboration with Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Miranda Family Fund, the RISE Directory aims to uplift underrepresented artists across backstage, administrative, and creative roles in the performing arts. Its strategic design amplifies the voices of women, people of color, trans, non-binary, deaf, and disabled individuals. Join us to delve into the significance of visibility and support in our community
