An invitation
We invite you to discover a wonderful array of music with us in 2027, as we celebrate our ten year anniversary.
Throughout the year we'll traverse music from 16th century Europe through to 21st century Australia. We start the year with performances at the Ballarat Organs & Fine Music Festival, followed by a national tour (including Lutruwita!) with French harpsichordist Bertrand Cullier.
In the meantime, there's a veritable feast of past concerts in our "Watch + Listen" section, and plenty of recordings in our "Shop".
I look forward to welcoming you to a performance soon.

Artistic Director
TRANSFORMATIONS - OUT NOW
Now available on the VDB label, Transformations is a conversation across centuries—between the devotional music of 17th-century Germany and two new Australian works that reimagine this rich heritage.
Featuring bass-baritone Andrew O'Connor, the album moves from introspective gravity toward something brighter and more hopeful, a meditation on how we inherit and reimagine the voices of the past.
Stream or download the album today on your favourite platform, or order the CD from our Shop.
"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."

What's on
"I'd crawl over broken glass to attend a Van Diemen's Band concert! "
"We are so lucky to have such talented, generous and warm musicians in Tasmania. Every time I see you perform there is such joy and happiness that you radiate to all in the audience."
