Anna Maria Mendieta is available to perform as a soloist or with orchestras and ensembles. Concerts can be produced on a large scale with lighting and effects or simplified to meet the demands of the venue. Dynamic combinations can be orchestrated to include an ensemble of strings, woodwinds, and percussion. A duo of harp and flute or violin can be appealing for more intimate recitals. A harp, viola, and cello trio is also available, specializing in the music of Debussy and Ravel. To add variety, Anna Maria also performs with a vocalist upon request.
