An invitation

We invite you to discover a wonderful array of music with us in 2026, as we traverse music from 16th Century Baroque Europe through to 21st Century Australia. In April and May our hugely popular LUNCHBOX CONCERTS return to Nipaluna/Hobart, Launceston and Pataway/Burnie, and we welcome international artists for CZECH MATE in Launceston.

You can now also stream our past performances in our "Watch & Listen" section, and our latest album - WHERE EVERYTHING IS MUSIC - is available to pre-order in the "Shop".

I look forward to welcoming you to a performance soon.

Artistic Director

What's on

New album coming soon!

The Persian music of Afghanistan meets Baroque in this acclaimed cross-cultural collaboration with Ensemble Kaboul.

Experience a stunning blend of two distinct musical worlds, when the warm, resonant tones of Van Diemen's Band meets the intricate melodic patterns of traditional Afghan and Persian music, while soaring vocals merge with the ethereal late 19th century piano compositions of Erik Satie.

Embodying artistry and advocacy, this recording preserves and celebrates musical traditions Afghanistan's current regime is attempting to silence.

Now available to pre-order as a CD, Where Everything is Music will be available on your favourite streaming platform from 15 May.

"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."
