Tim Beveridge’s career has progressed in leaps and bounds since
he abandoned his life as a lawyer some years ago.
Starting in musical theatre, he was one of the youngest performers
to play the Phantom in “The Phantom of the Opera” at the early age
of 29, then appeared on the world stage by winning a place in the
final of the world’s most prestigious music theatre competition, the
BBC Voice of Musical Theatre in the UK in both 2000 and 2002 – the
only person ever to appear in two consecutive finals. His
first recording, “Singer” with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
went gold within four weeks of release.
In 2004 he collaborated with the arranger Russ Garcia (arranger to
Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, et al)
on a big band recording that culminated in the release of Tim’s
second CD, “Come Rain, Come Shine” on the Sony/BMG label in 2004.
The album, featuring Buddy Childer’s Big Band and conducted by Russ
Garcia, was recorded in Hollywood. Its endorsements included
Burt Bacharach lyricist Hal David, among others.
Tim has sung in every major venue in New Zealand as well as the
Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Concert Hall with well known New
Zealand performers such as Sir Howard Morrison, Dame Malvina Major
and Hayley Westenra. He has conceived, produced, directed and
starred in his own festival productions over the past ten years.
His career as an independent concert producer has seen Tim produce
concerts at major venues throughout New Zealand with his Neophonic
Orchestra. Among those was “Fly me to the Moon” at Auckland’s Town
Hall conducted by Russ Garcia himself and recorded as a
live-in-concert album. Other concert highlights include “The
Vegas Experience” which paid homage to the Las Vegas swing era with
classics from Sinatra, Martin, Darin and others and “In Love with
Kiri ”a special Valentines Day event with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and
“The Music is Bond...James Bond”– which celebrated the music from
the Bond films.
