Gary Daverne

Gary Daverne is a versatile New Zealand composer, conductor, and music arranger known for his knack for blending orchestral grandeur with playful storytelling. With a career spanning decades, he’s crafted everything from whimsical children’s musical narratives (like *Musical Stories for Children, Vol. 2*) to evocative instrumental suites (*Robyn Hood: Outlaw Princess*) and regional odes to Aotearoa’s landscapes (*Where Two Oceans Meet*). His collaborations shine through works like *Shan Plays Gary* and *Mary Plays Gary*, spotlighting instrumentalists while showcasing his flair for melody and structure. Whether scoring cheeky reimaginings of folklore (*Tales of Panapa*) or composing quirky accordion-focused albums (*Koriana*), Daverne’s work feels both nostalgic and inventive—a testament to his role as a beloved fixture in New Zealand’s musical tapestry.
