Theo van der Pas (1902–1986) was a pianist and music educator. In this second episode we hear him as both soloist and accompanist, after he appeared with symphony orchestras in a previous broadcast. A tribute to a versatile musician who was already playing the piano at the age of eight in his sister’s ballet school.
