Mohamad Zatari Trio was founded in 2019, based on the desire to transcend the boundaries between the sound worlds.
The group's first appearance took place at the Outernational Days Festival, in 2020.
The trio consists of performers Sara Eslami (Iran) on Tar, Avadhut Kasinadhuni (India / Romania) on Tabla and the ensemble's founder, Mohamad Zatari (Syria) on Oud.
The approached repertoire includes original compositions signed by the group members, Sara Eslami and Mohamad Zatari, but also rearranged traditional pieces from West Asia and North Africa, which combine timbers, techniques, and aesthetics in a lively and original form.

The event was hosted in collaboration with the Romanian Peace Institute - PATRIR as part of the STIRE Cultural Market. The Syrian cultural market is designed as a social interaction three-day event for bringing together the resettled people of Syrian origin with established diaspora and/or refugee organizations in the region from the same/similar origin.
