This Beatles Classic provided great inspiration to Carina, for an interesting version which has the slide flute at the core, and also features her lead vocals

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

The flute always lends itself to Irish music.  In this little musical moment from Riverdance, Carina uses the slide flute and piccolo to create different layers and textures

One of the most unique flute players in the world today, Carina Bruwer is praised far and wide for her phenominal technique combined with her idiosyncratic improvisation skills and soulful interpretations rarely associated with this instrument.  Carina, who holds a BMus (Hons) cum laude and is also the leader and founder of Sterling EQ – the the SAMA Award-winning all-woman trio known for coining the genre "instrumental pop" through their unique take on instrumental music - has recorded on over a dozen albums, performed in 15 countries both solo and as part of Sterling, and won numerous awards for her work across the board, from purely Classical to crossover, instrumental pop and contemporary.  

With her signature style, Carina breaths new life into songs such as Europa (Santana), While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Beatles), Fragile (Sting), Feeling Good (Nina Simone), and many more – she draws her inspiration from songs where the melody is independently able to convey the mood of the song, and she takes it one step further with her passionate and virtuosic playing.  With the use of her groundbreaking slide flute, she is able to make a traditionally delicate instrument sound truly rock-pop!  At the same time, she offers spirited performances of the latest billboard hits.

Her repertoire is extensive and also includes an array of instrumental Jazz, World music, modern day pop, and wedding favourites.  She is also able to play any piece of music from the Classical repertoire, and always happy to source and arrange special requests from any style genre!

MUSIC ASIDE……
Carina is also well-known as a long distance swimmer, having broken numerous local and international records with her ultra marathon solo feats which includes crossing the English Channel (36km), Gibraltar Straits (16km), Messina Straits Quadruple (16km) and even False Bay (38km)!
