Van Diemen's Band

Discover VDB in 2025

We invite you to discover a wonderful array of music with us in 2025. In November we bring our hugely popular Lunchbox Concerts back to Hobart, Launceston and Burnie, before finishing the year with Vivaldi's beloved Gloria in Hobart and Penguin.

You can now also stream our past performances in our "Watch & Listen" section, and our latest album - BOHEMIA - is available in the "Shop" or on your favourite digital streaming service.

I look forward to welcoming you to a performance soon.

2025 Season

New album available now!

Three musicians, one instrument, but worlds apart in approach—from cutting-edge electronics to historically informed performance on 17th-century instruments.

What's emerged is a sound that doesn't fit neatly into any one category—and that's exactly the point.

The Van Diemen's Fiddles debut album explores stories of how music traveled with merchants, migrants, and mystics, revealing the surprising connections that weave through time and geography.

CDs now available to order through our Shop, and soon to be available on all major streaming platforms.

"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."
