State regional tour to Franklin, St Helens, Scottsdale, Latrobe, Stanley & Queenstown

One tour isn’t enough! Van Diemen’s Band hits the road again in October for its  second regional tour of 2021. VDB explores seventeenth-century music of Bohemia in a program featuring the wildly innovative baroque composer Heinrich Biber and lesser known composers, Pezel & Weichlein, taking music to a new world of experimentation. With the magical tones of a consort of violins, violas da gamba and theorbo, this program will transport you with its enormously rich and engaging repertoire including the famous Canon by Pachelbel.
