Fans of the neo-classical Norwegian group Secret Garden will have the privilege of hearing three new songs from the band's upcoming album during their China tour.

Shirley, Secret Garden's vocalist, expressed her excitement to bring new music to China. She also mentioned the deep and lasting impression the concert the group held in Beijing five year's ago has left on them.

Bringing home some of China with them, the group is expected to play the Erhu, a two-stringed Chinese fiddle, with violin accompaniment on the capital's stage.

Formed in 1994, Secret Garden held their first Chinese concert in Shanghai five years ago.
