AMA-nominated, South African instrumental group - Sterling EQ, took the entertainment industry by storm in 2009 with its genre-defying musical style and sensational live performance. Sterling has proved to be one of the most successful instrumental bands ever to come out of South Africa, having shared stages with icons such as Boney M, Snow Patrol, Johnny Clegg, Parlotones and Lira. In addition they’ve had the opportunity to entertain and international celebrities such as Elton John, Annie Lennox, and Lance Armstrong, to name but some.
Eriel Huang, first electric violinist of the instrumental super group, is especially excited to return to Durban, where she was born and raised until the age of 6. “I spent the first few years of my life in Durban North, and still have so many fond memories of the time and the place. The people are so warm and the weather is the Best!” Renate Riedeman, the group’s second violinist, who was also born in Durban comments: “It’s always great coming back and performing to the people here”. Flute virtuoso (and record-holding marathon swimmer) Carina Bruwer heads up the band, with cello diva Ariella Caira completing the killer instrumental four piece.
Sterling EQ will perform a selection of crowd-pleasing melodies and show stoppers. Legendary instrumentals such as the theme from ‘Caravans’ and Chic Corea’s ‘Spain’ take you on a colourful trip down memory lane, while exciting contemporary versions of well-known classics like ‘Toccata’ and ‘Storm’ (Four Seasons / Carmina Burana medley), South African favourites and original Sterling hits are guaranteed to keep the audience spellbound from beginning to end.
