"…stylistic, elegant, poised, tasteful, technically brilliant and, together with the ICO, absolutely exhilarating." Irish Examiner

Ana-Maria Vera was born in Washington, D.C. to Dutch and Bolivian parents. At the age of nine she made her nationally televised debut with the Boston Pops and the legendary Arthur Fiedler, with whom she embarked on several American tours. At the age of eleven she recorded Mozart and Haydn piano concertos with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under Edo de Waart, for which Philips awarded her a Gold Record. Later that year she was also invited to perform a recital at the White House for President and Mrs. Carter. She is equally at home on both sides of the Atlantic, appearing in solo recitals at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Herkulessaal in Münich, Tivoli Theatre in Copenhagen, Salle Gaveau in Paris and at London's Wigmore Hall. Over the past decade she has devoted much of her artistry to chamber music, developing close duo partnerships with major artists such as Ivry Gitlis, Steven Isserlis and Joshua Bell.
