Carina on Flute

About

Carina Bruwer is a flute soloist known for technical precision paired with distinctive improvisation and soulful interpretation - a rare combination on an instrument typically associated with classical restraint. Holding a BMus (Hons) cum laude, Carina leads Sterling EQ, a SAMA Award-winning all-woman trio credited with establishing the "instrumental pop" genre. She has recorded on over a dozen albums, performed across 15 countries, and won multiple awards spanning classical, crossover, and contemporary work. Her repertoire ranges from original compositions to reimagined standards - Europa (Santana), While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Beatles), Fragile (Sting), and Feeling Good (Nina Simone) - each selected for melodies that carry emotional weight independent of lyrics. This approach makes her suited to events requiring either refined classical programming or something with broader contemporary appeal. Based in the Western Cape, Carina performs as a soloist or ensemble member, adapting to corporate events, private functions, and concert settings. Her work bridges genres without sacrificing musicianship. To enquire about availability, reach out directly through Gigster.
