Will EL wire create interference with an XLR microphone?

I'm interested in wrapping the bell of my trombone in Electroluminescent wire. During performances the EL wire will be within inches of my XLR microphone. The EL inverters drive the wire with 90-120volts at 400-1000Hz. The inverters might make a faint sound like a camera flash charging which doesn't worry me. I'm concerned that the wire itself will create electrical noise which will reek havoc with our stage equipment, sound board, XLR microphones, and monitor speakers.
