Co-founders of Le Poisson Rouge, David Handler and Justin Kantor, talk with Eugenia Zukerman and Emily Ondracek-Peterson of Noted Endeavors about the practical realities of making a living as a composer or instrumentalist.
Called by Time Out New York “a forward-thinking venue that seeks to showcase disparate musical styles under one roof,” Le Poisson Rouge continues to present cutting edge events as well as traditional classics, pop, jazz and almost any genre of performance you can think of. “The venue is a downright musical marvel,” as the New York Times dubbed it. Its co-founders, David Handler and Justin Kantor, are downright candid in their belief that experiencing music from completely different perspectives in a dynamic environment is a thrilling experience. Judging by the huge volume of concerts and vast number of attendees, audiences agree.
