Winners of 11 national awards, including five Australian Entertainment Industry ‘MO’ Awards, and ‘Qantas Peter Allen Variety Performers of the Year’, String Fever has something for everyone – in a way that gets their toes tapping and their hearts thumping, fusing classical music with today’s “here and now” pop sounds.

 

String Fever was conceived in 1998 by wife-and-husband team Jacqueline and Brenton Edgecombe. They have played with four of Australia’s major symphony orchestras. Now with a new string to their bow Jacqueline and Brenton are thrilled to be catapulted from the orchestra pit to centre stage with their winning brand of entertainment.

 

String Fever has performed over 900 shows internationally and around Australia, and has headlined on the world’s most luxurious cruise ships, including the QE2, and the exclusive Silversea and Seabourn lines.
