Lisa Moskow

Lisa "Sangita" Moscow is an American sarodist and composer.

Many of her songs use tunings and playing techniques unusual for the sarod. Her music draws not only from the Hindustani musical tradition, but from other musical traditions as well, including those of Japan, Europe, and the Middle East. She has studied music under Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Ustad Zakir Hussain, and Shankar Ghosh. She also studied western music at the College of Marin in Kentfield, California.cite news
