With many albums to her credit, Anna Maria has appeared in movies, on television, radio, and
the Emmy Awards. She has performed with Frederica von Stade, Josh Groban, Frank Sinatra
Jr, Olivia Newton John, Moody Blues, and Barry Manilow, who calls her his “favorite harpist”.

Ms. Mendieta performs all styles of music from classical to contemporary and is recognized
internationally as a pioneer in performing Argentine Tango music on the harp with praises by
The American Symphony Orchestra League as an “exceptional and charismatic” soloist. Her
creation of “Tango del Cielo”, a national touring concert-show, is the focus of a documentary
film. When she’s not pulling strings, Anna Maria is out on the dance floor as a part of the
show.
