Johan Gerritsen van der Hoop
More than 262 times played this month
Johan Gerritsen van der Hoop, a resident of Oud-Beijerland, born on July 15, 1972, in Rotterdam, began his pan flute lessons with Ada Busse in Spijkenisse at the age of 12.
Due to his studies, among other things, his pan flute playing in recent years was limited to participating in singing and organ evenings.
However, he remained deeply fascinated by the pan flute and music. Therefore, when he was asked to participate in this recording, he spontaneously agreed.
The pan flutes he plays were made by the Romanian pan flutist Nicolae Pirvu. Partly because of this, and certainly also because of the great musical enthusiasm Johan brings to his playing, many will be moved by hearing these unique musical sounds.
