Van Diemen's Band

Discover VDB in 2025

We invite you to discover a wonderful array of music with us in 2025. From virtuoso viola da gamba player Paolo Pandolfo to Van Diemen's Fiddles' newest project, to our ever-popular Lunchbox Concerts in nipaluna/Hobart, Launceston and pataway/Burnie, there's plenty in store for everyone.

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.

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."

— Sydney Morning Herald

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

— Audience member

"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."
