LIVE REVIEWS
”The concert was such an overall art experience that I would have liked to stay in the hall. You wanted to hold on to the moment. Thank you lovely Anna and the wonderful musicians. The art of presence, music for the ears and for the soul! Thank you also JP Manninen. Different parts of the performance were in dialogue with each other: They chattered and flowed together. Ice, water, bridges, young pine trees, clanging of birch logs and flowers of bird cherry trees.” – Eeva Kauppinen, culture critic, Oulu, Finland 2023
“With a voice that weeps and smiles and radiates, she enthralled us all.”
Flamenco Blog Sol y Sombra 2018
“This kind of artists do not come out of nowhere. In their art there is a depth and finely mysterious and new cultural view, brought by digging into their subject over a long time as well as personally experiencing it.”
