The first chapter of soprano Tina Beverly's performance career ignited in the 2003-2004 season ranging from artist with Lyric Opera of Chicago's Ryan Opera Center to first prize in the Musicians Club of Women voice competition in Chicago to performing in recital at the Spoleto Festival in Italy.  In 2007, her passion for education and professional development lead her to pursue an opportunity with a top Chicago management consulting firm supporting higher education, specializing in the areas of resource management, human resources, and training.  In 2014, shortly after the birth of her third child, she took some time off from the corporate arena to allow time to be with her growing family while pursuing other opportunities: a finalist in the Nicholas Loren Vocal Competition, soloist with the Bach Week Festival performing Bach's Kaffee Cantata (BWV 211),  Children's Choir Director at St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Barrington, co-lecturer on the Care of the Professional Voice at Elmhurst College, and giving private voice lessons out of her home. In this second chapter as the mother of three young children, Tina continues to seek the balance between family, her career, and her art by performing in recital, providing entertainment for special events and area social functions, performing at weddings, and singing in her church choir. In May 2016, Tina returned to the corporate arena full-time for a big data and analytics consulting firm downtown continuing her passion for human resources and optimal performance.  

An accomplished singer, Tina has performed Frantik in The Cunning Little Vixen with the Lyric Opera of Chicago as well as the cover for Woglinde in Das Rheingold and Götterdämmerung and the Forest Bird in Siegfried with the company, Nannetta in Falstaff and Nella in Gianni Schicchi with Indianapolis Opera, Adina in L'elisir d'amore with the Rome Opera Festival, Olympia in Les contes d'Hoffmann with the Aspen Music Festival and Brevard Music Center, Adele in Die Fledermaus with the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists, as well as the role of Countess Adele in Rossini's The Count Ory.

She has performed Zerbinetta’s Recitative and Aria in concert under Sir Andrew Davis as a “rising star” with the Lyric Opera Orchestra, as the Dew Fairy in Hansel and Gretel with University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mahler’s Fourth and Strauss’ Voci di primavera with Park Ridge Civic Orchestra, and in recital with Chicago’s Harold Washington Public Library, American Opera Society of Chicago, Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago, Unity Temple concert series, in a duet recital with the Spoleto Festival in Italy, and with the Chicago Cultural Center’s Dame Myra Hess concert series, broadcast live on Chicago’s 98.7, WFMT.

As an avid performer of the Bach, Handel, and Mozart repertoire, Tina has sung in major works by these composers as well as other works representative of these periods. These have included Emira in the American premier of Handel’s Siroe with the Handel Week Festival of Oak Park and the title role of Handel’s Esther (HWV 50a) with the Callipygian Players with period instruments. Her passion for Bach earned her a fellowship with the Bach Aria Festival & Institute in Stony Brook, NY, where she was able to prime fourteen Bach cantata arias. Other significant works include the Bach Magnificat and Vivaldi Gloria with the Riverside Presbyterian Church, Handel’s Messiah with the DuPage Symphony Orchestra and with St Ignatius, the Second Woman in Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas with the Music of the Baroque, the role of Clarice in Haydn’s The World of the Moon, and various Baroque chamber works. Possessing a voice tailor-made for Mozart, she has performed the Mozart Requiem with the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra and New Philharmonic Orchestra, Despina in Così fan tutte, and in The Marriage of Figaro as Susanna with DuPage Opera Theater and as Barbarina with the Florentine Opera in Milwaukee. Her clear voice also lends itself to the music of English and American composers, having performed Tytania in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as well as the cover for the Bride in the world premiere of William Bolcom and Robert Altman’s opera, A Wedding, at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

She has won first prize from competitions sponsored by the Musicians Club of Women, NATS, Bel Canto Chorus of Milwaukee, and the Society of American Musicians as well as competition awards from the Musicians Club of Women, Union League & Civic Arts Foundation (Chicago), the Bel Canto Foundation (Chicago), American Bach Society (Bethlehem, PA), American Opera Society of Chicago, Friedrich Schorr Memorial Prize in Voice (Adrian, MI), Bel Canto Scholarship Vocal Competition (Providence, RI), and MTNA (Albuquerque, NM).

She received her Master of Music from Boston University (scholarship recipient), her Bachelor of Music and German minor from DePauw University, where she was the recipient of nine awards and scholarships in performance and German and where she was also invited back to teach as an adjunct instructor in voice and music theory, and a Certificato di Frequenza, pre-intermedio, for intensive Italian language study in Rome.

Her earliest memory of singing dates back to accompanying songs on the radio in the backseat of her parents' car. At age six, she was further inspired after her parents brought her to see the musical Annie at Chicago’s Schubert Theater. Shortly thereafter, she began singing in the St. Michael’s children's choir, where the director took note and further developed her musical studies by teaching her piano. She continued to study piano through her early years and sing throughout high school, beginning private lessons her sophomore year and finishing her senior year portraying Maria in The Sound of Music, her Dad's favorite role even to this day.

She is very grateful for the support she has received and continues to receive from the Chicago music community, her church, area churches, family, parents, teacher, coaches, professional colleagues, mentors, and friends. Tina makes her home in Chicago's northwest suburbs.
