Discover VDB in 2024

It is with enormous pleasure that I am able to share the first glimpse of our 2024 season with you, with performances in store in pataway/Burnie, Launceston, Triabunna and nipaluna/Hobart - and there's still more announcements to come!

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

Van Diemen's Band is Tasmania's own chamber orchestra and concert presenter.

We breathe new life into historical performance practice, bringing contemporary relevance to long-forgotten works through innovation, creativity and communication.

We regularly tour and present concerts across Tasmania, as well as recording, broadcasting and delivering education and community outreach programs.

Our next instrument

Extraordinary music requires extraordinary instruments. We are raising funds to commission a "Zampieri" harp from Dutch maker Rainer Thurau.

"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."
