Tim Beveridge “Out of New York”
“In terms of sheer relaxed vocal finesse, New Zealander Tim Beveridge was peerless.” [The Singer, UK]
A stylish night of swing and sophistication is promised for the second concert in the Auckland Philharmonia’s 2004
Telecom Pops series.
Tim Beveridge, who has established himself as one of New Zealand’s finest singers and concert performers, takes the
stage with the Auckland Philharmonia on Friday, 27 August to perform some of the great standards from the 40s, 50s and
60s.
The stage is set for a big night out with songs such as The Lady is a Tramp, New York New York, Mack the Knife, I’ve Got
You Under My Skin and Girl from Ipanema. Most of the songs are arrangements by the legendary Russ Garcia customised for
Tim and the Auckland Philharmonia.
After reaching platinum sales in New Zealand with his first CD, Tim Beveridge has just recorded a new big band album on
the Sony label in the US with the Buddy Childers Big Band. Arranged and conducted by Russ Garcia, the album will be
launched to coincide with this concert and marks an exciting new direction for Tim. Prior to this he was recognised as
