Publiek domein

Thelma van Breemen was a classical pianist.[1] On 5 December 1943 she debuted in the small auditorium of the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, playing works composed by Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Debussy, among others.[2] NRC noted that "with her first performance in Amsterdam, yesterday afternoon in the small hall of the Concertgebouw, the young pianist Thelma van Breemen gave very strong impressions of great musical talent."[3]

In 14 March 1944 she played there again.[4] Bep Voskuijl attended this concert.[5] On 7 October 1944, she married Dirk Anthonie van der Pijl (1906-1949), receiver of direct taxes.[6] Four years after his death, Thelma married again, this time to lawyer and former resistance fighter Peter Adriaan Cornelis Bondam (1918-1982) and left with him for Curaçao.[7]
