SAVT

SAVT is an improvisation trio based in Istanbul and Strasbourg. Since their foundation in 2015, the trio has formed a repertoire bringing together improvisation and contemporary written music. Consisting of tanbur, classical kemenche, and violoncello, SAVT seeks new ways to create a unique musical language that expands the taksim tradition and encourage new music composition for traditional instruments.
