(Le) Poisson Rouge (often referred to as LPR) is a music venue and multimedia art cabaret in New York City founded in 2008 by Justin Kantor and David Handler on the former site of The Village Gate. The performance space was designed and engineered by John Storyk/WSDG. It has become a known venue for its focus on artistry, bring contemporary classical music into the club setting, and offering a variety of set ups so that a seated classical performance can be followed by a standing set by a rock band or a DJ. Responding to a performance of Olivier Messiaen's ''Quartet for the End of Time'' featuring pianist Bruce Brubaker at LPR, the ''Wall Street Journal'' reported: "The crowd -- many of whom wouldn't even have known who Messiaen was -- sat in rapt silence, and roared their approval at the end."〔Sandow, Greg, ("A Young, Hip, Classical Crowd" ), ''Wall Street Journal'', March 28, 2009〕 Kantor and Handler, both graduates of Manhattan School of Music, founded LPR with the stated desire of creating a venue that would foster the fusion of "popular and art cultures" in music, film, theater, dance, and fine art. The venue is home to a myriad variety of genres focusing on classical, new music, avant garde music, indie rock, and jazz, but also playing host to readings, comedy, film, DJs, parties, theater,and burlesque. The venue has also had a number of live albums recorded at it, including an improvised album by J. Spaceman and Kid Millions and Grand Valley State University's New Music Ensemble recording of Terry Riley's In C. ==Awards== * Three years running a nominee for Paper Magazine’s best club in New York City〔http://peoples-choice-awards09.papermag.com/〕 * The Freedom Party at LPR won the 2010 Best Party in NYC from Paper Magazine * Listed in Flavorpill’s Best Venues of the 21st Century * 2009 Village Voice’s Best Rock Venue * 2009 New York Magazine’s Best High Brow Venue * 2010 Club Planet Venue of the Week * 2011 New York Jazz Record Venue of the Year * 2011 Village Award from Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation * 2011 Lonely Planet Best of NYC * 2011 ASCAP's Victor Herbert Award for excellence in programming * 2012 iRockaes Top 50 Live Streaming Sources * 2012 Foursquare: New York's Best Music Venues 2012 * 2012 & 2013 Downbeat Magazine's Great Jazz Rooms of the World * 2013 Guest of a Guest's Best NYC Venues to Discover New Musicians 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「(Le) Poisson Rouge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
