Justin Kantor is a game changer in the music scene. 

In 2008, he co-founded the concert venue Le Poisson Rouge located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The venue was known for its classical-meets-art-rock musical headliners like Philip Glass, Coco Rosie, St. Vincent, and my personal favorite, Regina Spektor.

Justin is a musician himself, a classical cellist who has played for the likes of major orchestras as well as pop stars like Miley Cyrus. He has an interesting perspective on the evolution of the classical + rock scene, as well as the music culture in New York.
