神秘园
成立于1994年的神秘园，是由两位才华出众
的音乐家组成，一位是在挪威音乐界享有盛誉，
曾为不同的音乐家担任作曲、监制并身兼键盘师
的罗尔夫·勒夫兰，他是神秘园的灵魂；另一位
则是来自爱尔兰的小提琴家芙露娜·雪莉，她曾
接受正规的古典音乐教育，曾与多位世界级音乐
家及流行歌星合作，与罗尔夫相遇后，由于两个
人的音乐理念和生活态度包括哲学观念都很相近，
对音乐的热情和追求一拍即合即组成了神秘园，
罗尔夫深信：每个人心目中都有一块属于自己的
领地，每当痛苦失望或消沉时，就需要抒缓情绪，
寻找心里的平静和安慰，这块藏在每个人内心的
土地，就是"神秘园"。
Rolf was born in Kristiansand, in southern Norway. His
first brush with composing came at the early age of nine,
when he formed his first band. From then on, and
throughout his youth, music came to be his constant
companion and focus in life. He later studied music at the
Music Conservatory in Kristiansand - and received his Masters
degree in music at the Norwegian Institute of Music in Oslo.
By the time he’d unveiled his "Secret Garden" to the world,
Rolf had already earned himself a Norwegian Grammy Award and the
reputation as Norway’s most successful popular songwriter, with over 60
national chart hits. For two consecutive years his songs had won the National
radio chart "Song of the year-award".
Rolf was also a two-time winner of the international Eurovision Song Contest
final - in 1985 with "La det swinge", and in 1995 with "Nocturne". He is also a
four-time winner of Norway’s national Eurovision Song Contest finals.
The founding of Secret Garden has given Rolf the freedom to explore (and for
us to experience) deeper emotional dimension and wider musical landscape
than the earlier phase of his career had allowed. It has also proven the
composer, Rolf Lovland, to be a musical force of considerable stature.
Stage Instruments: Acoustic Grand Piano, Yamaha PF-200 digital piano and

ionnuala grew up and went to school in Naas in
County Kildare - surrounded by a musical family that
ignited her passion for music at an early age. She
started to play the violin at the age of eight, and at fifteen
she moved to Dublin to study music. She graduated with
honours from Trinity College in Dublin, and the College of
Music, and was later employed by the RTE Concert
Orchestra, where she was a member for ten years.
In addition to the classical symphonic and operatic
repertoire, Fionnuala possessed a much wider musical
interest. This is evident in the eclectic body of artists and projects she has been
involved with, including The Chieftains, Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison, Chris
de Burgh, Bono and Wet Wet Wet. With the Irish Film Orchestra she's also
recorded several Hollywood film scores, such as "The River Runs Wild", "A
room with a view" and "The Mask".
That same wide interest in music led her to conceive, write and present her
own music series for children on Irish national TV - all this leading up to her
fated meeting with Rolf Lovland and the founding of Secret Garden in 1994.
Onstage, she enchants audiences throughout the world, through her musical
intensity and soulful performances. In Secret Garden's music, her unique violin
virtuosity provides the heartstrings, voice and wings for Lovland’s compositions.
