Excerpts from their website: Elena and Gregory Fainshtein, a married button accordion duo, have traveled the world both professionally and personally and now reside in the Dallas, Texas area. Both Elena and Gregory graduated from the Belarusian State Academy of Music in the former USSR and are classically trained. Their life journey has taken them from the former USSR to the State of Israel and then to the United States of America.

Throughout their lives, they’ve learned different languages and met a variety of people, but the one constant that remains is the music they have developed with each other. Both Elena and Gregory like to explore new genres and expand their musical vocabulary from year to year.

Elena and Gregory have been a part of the National Accordion Association for over a decade and performed in various conventions nationally. They are well known in the Dallas/Fort Worth area where Elena has her own music studio and teaches piano accordion and heads up the “Happy Fingers Accordion Band”.

Music drives this couple in everything they do, and they are excited to share their passion with a new audience at the TeD Talks.

Elena Fainshtein will present several workshops at the NAA Accordion Convention and Festival in Texas in March. On Thursday, March 8 at 9:AM she will present a workshop on Russian folk Tunes. On Saturday, March 10 at 2:30 PM, she will present a Master Class/ Open Lesson.
