Anna Maria Mendieta has no trouble recalling the dayspring of her lifelong love affair with the harp. At age five, her arts-loving parents (her mother was a pianist and accordionist; her father played classical guitar and saxophone) played a recording of Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, and the overture swept her away.

“…an exceptional soloist, harpist Anna Maria Mendieta, was even more impressive. A charismatic player, she ranged through her instrument: exquisite, finger flicked dustings up and across the strings; or guitar-like strums, crisp and percussive; or rich-blooded low notes or brilliant high ones. The interwoven sound of Mendieta and the orchestra was luminous…”

“The American Harp Society’s big conference was an incredible experience…an opportunity to hear the world’s best harpists… let me mention one enchantingly wonderful group, Anna Maria Mendieta and her ensemble. While the music was fantastic, a complete surprise was when the dancer extended a hand to harpist Anna Maria and she accepted. Wow, the music went on, the dance went on, then he escorted her back to the harp for the finish. I was glad I hadn’t skipped that concert.”
