About life Juhans, one of the oldest born in North America composers, little is known. He came to Philadelphia in 1783, where he held a series of subscription concerts with Alexander Reinagle, Henri Capron and William Brown. 1787 was a benefit concert held in his favor, in which George Washington was present, and he performed a piano sonata for four hands by Joseph Haydn with Reinagle. 1792 published six sonatas for piano or harpsichord Juhans in pressure.
