Josh Fineberg began his musical training at 4 years old with western classical and jazz on piano and bass in New York City. He was hailed as a prodigy and performed in jazz venues and concert halls across the New York area. In his teens, Josh fell in love with the music of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pandit Nikhil Banerjee, and shifted his focus to sitar and Hindustani music while pursuing his Bachelor’s degree from New England Conservatory. Josh is a practitioner of the Maihar Gharana (school of playing) and has earned the love and respect of connoisseurs of Hindustani music, as well art-music communities around the world. Josh has learned with Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Ustad Aashish Khan and Sri Alam Khan, among others. He has performed extensively at festivals and concert halls in the USA, Canada, Europe and India and has recorded albums alongside some of the leading tabla players today including Pandit Swapan Chaudhari and Pandit Anindo Chatterjee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1XrQq-XdP4
