Van Diemen's Band

Discover VDB in 2024

We invite you to discover a wonderful array of music with us this year. In October we're touring across the state with "Cloak & Dagger" before bringing our hugely popular Lunchbox Concerts back to pataway/Burnie, Launceston and nipaluna/Hobart in November & December.

For those who can't make it to a live performance (or want to re-live a show), we have a delectable range of digital broadcasts available in our "Watch & Listen" section.

I look forward to welcoming you to a performance soon.

About VDB

One of lutruwita/Tasmania's leading performing arts companies, we work across genres and disciplines to provide some of the most exciting performance experiences created in the state.

Boldly combining the music of the Baroque with works by living composers, we regularly tour and present concerts across lutruwita/Tasmania, as well as recording, broadcasting and delivering education and community engagement programs.

Discover Van Diemen's Band

"This is not recreating an imagined past. It’s creating music now ... add performances of the highest calibre and an infectiously enthusiastic stage presence, and you have an ensemble that is a welcome addition to the baroque and beyond conversation."

"I'd crawl over broken glass to attend a Van Diemen's Band concert! "

"We are so lucky to have such talented, generous and warm musicians in Tasmania. Every time I see you perform there is such joy and happiness that you radiate to all in the audience."
