Secret Garden is a renowned musical duo known for their ethereal and evocative blend of neo-classical music and Celtic-inspired folk melodies. Composed of Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and Norwegian composer and pianist Rolf Løvland, the group first captivated the world stage when they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1995 with their instrumental piece "Nocturne." This victory launched them into international acclaim and set the tone for their unique genre-defying style.

Their music often features a mix of orchestral and electronic elements, characterized by haunting violin melodies and lush piano accompaniments. With Løvland's expert composition skills and Sherry's emotive violin performances, Secret Garden has released a series of successful albums since their formation. Among their most beloved works are "Song from a Secret Garden" and the universally acclaimed "You Raise Me Up," which has been covered by various artists around the world. The duo's artistic contributions include a series of thematic and compilation albums such as "Sacred Night - The Christmas Album," "Nocturne: The 25th Anniversary Collection," and "You Raise Me Up - The Collection," each showcasing their ability to create music that resonates with a sense of deep introspection and timeless beauty. With a career spanning over two decades, Secret Garden continues to entrance listeners with their evocative compositions and remains a pinnacle in contemporary instrumental music.
