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.[1]

She is a member of MOSAIC, a group of composers from San Francisco, and has won two awards from the ASCAP. Besides the sarod, she also plays the tabla, and the gamelan, an Indonesian instrument. She has toured in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. She is known to play a one-of-a-kind electric sarod.[2]

She collaborated with ambient musician Robert Rich on the albums Yearning, Propagation, and Humidity.
