About this event
The Sembrich’s 2026 Flonzaley Residency brings six artists from Maestra Music, an organization that provides support, visibility, and community to underrepresented artists, including women and gender-expansive musicians, who work in the musical theatre. In this special showcase, the resident artists share new works and works-in-progress, developed through supportive mentorship and inspired collaboration.
Founded in 2017 by composer, lyricist, and music director Georgia Stitt, Maestra emerged in response to the lack of visibility for women musicians in musical theatre and quickly grew into a vital national and international network. Named as a feminine counterpart to “Maestro,” the organization connects and amplifies underrepresented music-makers through mentorship, advocacy, and a robust global directory now numbering thousands of members. Today, Maestra’s expanding community and initiatives continue to drive meaningful change toward equity and inclusion across the theatre industry.
Followed by a lakeside reception.

This event is part of the 2026 Summer Festival, Brava! Celebrating Women in Music, a season honoring the extraordinary artistry, resilience, and influence of women in music. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake George, Brava! pays tribute not only to great female performers, but also to women composers, patrons, educators, and cultural leaders whose contributions have often been overlooked.
Through a thoughtfully curated series of concerts, lectures, and exhibitions, the 2026 Festival explores themes of artistic empowerment, mentorship, and creative legacy, from the Gilded Age to today's international stage.
