Trio Klavis
In 2013, Sabina, saxophonist Miha Ferk and violinist Jenny Lippl formed Trio Klavis. They established themselves as an exceptional new chamber music ensemble, pioneering the trio formation of violin, saxophone and piano.
Their repertoire ranges from the classical era to 21st century music by living composers. They have contributed significantly to the repertoire of this instrumentation by premiering, commissioning, and composing original works. Their performances, always played by heart, have been praised for their intensity and freedom.
With Trio Klavis, Sabina has recorded three studio albums. International tours have taken the trio through Europe, Asia and Africa.
Piano & Sand
Sabina and the sand artist Anna Vidyaykina collaborate to create the fusion of a solo piano concert and sand animation. Anna animates stories with sand on a lit table, the moving image is being projected onto a screen, as Sabina performs a solo piano recital hand in hand with the visuals.
Their collaboration was praised to remind that of a chamber music approach.
The performances of Piano & Sand have attracted audiences of all ages to sold out venues.
