Janus Guitar Duo was formed in 2015 by Tom Torrisi and Ken Luk while they were both doctoral students at the Eastman School of Music. Their name is inspired by the Roman god Janus: god of gates, doors, and transitions, whose two faces look simultaneously into the past and the future, according to their website material. Likewise, as musicians they look to music of the past, present, and future to create diverse and exciting concert programs, keeping audiences engaged with each stylistic turn.
