Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival

Van Diemen's Band performs two stunning concerts at the 2025 Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival.

PRELUDE WEEKEND - MY HEART IS STEADFAST
Sunday 26 October at 11am, St Luke's Richmond

Van Diemen’s Band performs early Baroque instrumental and vocal music by north German composers of the generation before JS Bach, whose music deserves to be heard much more often.

Featuring strings, theorbo and organ, Van Diemen's Band are joined by bass-baritone Andrew O’Connor, perhaps best-known for his many roles with Sydney’s Pinchgut Opera and the Australian Vocal Ensemble.

The music ranges from a sonorous organ solo, through various instrumental sonatas and a series of heartfelt vocal cantatas that will lift your spirits and touch your soul.

KEYNOTE FESTIVAL - SACRED SYMPHONIES
Sunday 2 November at 10.30am, The Palais Franklin

Van Diemen's Band performs the rousing finale for the 2025 Tasmanian Chamber Music Festival. Featuring six solo voices, chorus and renaissance orchestra, this concert features extracts from Symphoniae Sacrae of Schütz and Gabrieli, the Selva Morale et Spirituale by Monteverdi and works by Cavalli, Weckmann and Schop.
