Born in Baku Azerbaijan into a Russian family of pianists and growing up in different parts of Turkey, Sabina has a relatively long answer to those who ask her where she is from.

Her main musical and human inspirations are her parents Olga and Vasif Hasanov, both great pianists and piano teachers. They taught her a great deal about music and art, as well as how to cope psychologically with being the daughter of professors. Wanting to pass her knowledge on straight away, Sabina herself taught at the Kafkas University for two years and did charity work, giving piano lessons to underprivileged children. When there was time in between practicing, performing, teaching, and winning numerous competitions, she would make large drawings on the walls of the cafeteria of her University. This finally resulted in her drawings being published by Universal Edition in Aleksey Igudesman’s book „Horoscope Preludes“.

World famous musicians such as Dmitri Alexeev and Boris Bloch, taught Sabina in lessons and masterclasses how to play all the right notes. After receiving her Master’s Degree in Istanbul, she moved to Vienna and made her post-graduate studies at the University of Music with renowned Austrian pianist and conductor Stefan Vladar.

Sabina is also the associate producer, as well as one of the core team members of the film “Noseland", a feature length comical documentary starring John Malkovich, Sir Roger Moore, Julian Rachlin and many other star musicians.

Noseland has been screened at 15 film festivals around the world, including the famous Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where she enjoyed walking in her favorite Louboutin shoes on the red carpet.

She had solo and chamber music appearances around the world, yet her recent secret passion is aggressive skating which, to the relief of her biggest love, Trio Klavis, she only does wearing all round protection.
