Carlo Jans

It was in 1986 that CARLO JANS and CARY GREISCH teamed up for the first time as a flute/guitar duo before the Luxembourg public.

This interesting and charming instrumental combination accommodates a broad repertoire consisting of original compositions as well as transcriptions. Works of the Renaissance and baroque era as well as of the classical and romantic periods are represented together with modern music of the twentieth century bearing the imprint of popular-folkloristic and avant-garde elements.

For more than fifteen years now the manifold tonal and expressive resources of a duo with flute and guitar have inspired Carlo Jans and Cary Greisch to present the fruits of their common labors to the public at home and abroad. Their first CD, entitled "Flores del Sur", was released at the beginning of the year 2000 by the label "Bella Musica" and contains Latin American music for flute and guitar.

Cary Greisch

After having studied pop music, rock and jazz for a few years, his first teacher, Jean Roderes was able to get him interested in the classical guitar. C. Greisch received guitar instruction at the conservatory in Luxembourg. He deepened his studies at the "Conservatoire National de Région de Strasbourg", where he studied guitar with Bernard Fieschi. Cary Greisch completed his studies in Strasbourg with the "Diplôme Supérieur instrumental”.

He then went on to attend postgraduate courses offered by Alexandre Lagoya, Ako Ito and Henry Dorigny.

C. Greisch was appointed professor of guitar at the Conservatory of Luxembourg in 1986. His activities attest to his great musical polyvalence: classical solo guitar, in duo and trio, guitar with other instruments, electric guitar in various jazz and rock groups; combining literature and music.

His first solo guitar CD was released in 1994.
