Dreamer (Melodic Hard Rock)
“We are dreamer. We dream big.”
Dreamer is a rock band from Hong Kong. Our music often contains hints of other kinds of music as we are influenced by so many different genres of music like 80’s Hard Rock, Jazz-Funk Fusion, Power Ballad, etc.
Why do we play band? To hopefully introduce new, different music styles to the public, thus encouraging everyone to be adventurous about listening to new music.

希望我們的音樂，好比一個打火機，
把大家心中的燃料、能量再次燃燒起來。

The Bollands wish Hong Kong adieu with a final gig at Backstage Live. The New Zealand folk duo, who have gained a well earned reputation for their passion filled live shows, have been performing together since 2011 when Joyce, a classically trained pianist, met Christian, a hairy folk singer, at a campfire jam on a remote beach in their home country. They clicked instantly. Since that fate filled night, they have been playing their passion filled and heartfelt songs across the globe.

Special Guests: The Privateers, Rich Phipson
When: 10pm, 28 February, 2015

Die Fledermaus (The Bat) @ HKAPA – 24, 26, 28 March
“This is a story about marriage and friendship, love and forgiveness.” – Carolyn Choa, Director of Die Fledermaus (The Bat)
After almost 30 years of performing and writing dance music with enormous success, Johann Strauss II, “the Waltz King”, turned his attention to the theatre. Inspired by Offenbach and encouraged by his first wife, Jetty Treffz, he began to write operettas in 1871. In 1874, he wrote ‒ “in 42 nights” – Die Fledermaus, his third operetta,together with the librettists Karl Haffner and Richard Genée. The piece quickly became a huge success and is now widely regarded as one of the finest of this musical genre.
As with Strauss’ Waltzes and Polkas – what makes the music of Die Fledermaus so intriguing is first and foremost the inexhaustible richness of melody, but also the originality of invention and the sparkling orchestration. This is timeless music, which has its deeper roots in the music of Mozart and Schubert and which is in its naturalness and effortlessness comparable to theirs.
Director/Adaptation: Carolyn Choa
Conductor: Patrick Furrer
Cast: Gabriel von Eisenstein: Jasper Sung Dizhang, Rosalinde: Clara Chang Wing-chun, Adele: Ruan Xinai, Dr Falke: Alexander Chen Chun-yiu, Prince Orlofsky: Bobbie Zhang Qian, Alfred: Jiang Jin
