"Exceptionally rich in their artistic variety and complexity: an engaging and polished troupe." Anna Kisselgoff, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"…the powerful performance won whistles and cheers from members of the capacity crowd." Wilma Salisbury, CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
No American, whatever his of her heritage, is likely to feel excluded from participation in the troupe’s festive spirit." Dale Harris, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"Your company of exceptional dancers and musicians deserves its superior reputation. The OAC was proud to have Zivili represent traditional dancers and musicians of our state. Joanne Eubanks, Associate Coordinator, Arts in Education Program, The Ohio Arts Council
"…the ensemble performed with burning emotional involvement. The dancers tore into steps as if their lives were at stake. The musicians played with passion. The songs were sung from the heart." Wilma Salisbury, CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
