Josh Feinberg with Ravi Albright |

Josh Feinberg --- Sitar |
Born into a musical family, Josh
Feinberg was introduced to music through classical piano
at four years of age, and the bass at eight. As Josh
entered adolescence, he began studying jazz and
through that path found North Indian classical music. It
was the music of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pandit Nikhil
Banerjee that made a particularly strong impression on
him. It was not unusual for him to practice Hindusthani
music for ten to twelve hours in a day. He studied with
Dr. Peter Row while attending the New England Conservatory
of Music in Boston. In 2005, Josh initiated his training
with Maestro Ali Akbar Khan. Presently, Josh is continuing
his training with Ali Akbar Khan’s sons Maestro Aashish
Khan and Sri Alam Khan, as well as his senior disciple Sri
Anindya Banerjee. Web:
