JUTTERS received its premiere during Pieter van Loenen’s Dutch Classical Talent Tour in 2019. The composition is based on two folk songs from the isle of Terschelling, where Jan-Peter was raised. In the piece, the two folk songs slowly emerge and dissolve again in a dense ‘seashore’-like texture, like pieces of wood drifting ashore. The title is derived from the plural of the Dutch word ‘Jutter’, meaning ‘Beachcomber’.
