Review Quotes:
“The piece was rounded out by the amazing vocalization of Marija Temo as the Flamenco Singer. Her charisma and charm almost stole the show. I more than once took my eyes off the movements on stage to watch her command and attack. She was a perfect component, interweaving between the dancers and holding her own on an artistic and choreographic level. “- making Lexi’s Turn, by Wendy Potocki, Posted on May 6, 2012
“Kudos to flamenco cantante Marija Temo for not using a microphone; her dusky, vivid singing was completely natural and came from the heart. Ms. Temo wandered among the dancers as she sang, becoming a part of the rather abstracted narrative.” -Oberon’s Grove, May 07, 2012 by Philip Gardner
“Temo’s voice, with its distinctive peppery tone, had a rustic appeal.”– The Washington Post, Washington DC
“Guitarist and singer Marija Temo impressed on several occasions as she heightened the action and filled interludes. A classical guitarist and orchestral soloist as well as a flamenco expert, Temo possesses immaculate technique and an expressive, penetrating voice. Her accompaniments of Rimer’s dance solos were the most memorable parts of the show.” The Birmingham News, Birmingham, AL
