Justin Freer, producer and founder of CineConcerts said, \u201cThe Star\u00a0Trek<\/em> franchise has for many years been an important and meaningful\u00a0part of our culture in so many ways. This exciting concert experience\u00a0featuring the greatest music and visuals spanning five decades will be\u00a0an extraordinary and memorable event.\u201d<\/p>\n The production includes the franchise\u2019s groundbreaking and popular musical\u00a0achievements while iconic Star Trek<\/em> film and TV footage is simultaneously\u00a0beamed in high definition to a 40-foot wide screen. The concert will feature some of\u00a0the greatest music written for the franchise including music from Star Trek: The\u00a0Original Series, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star\u00a0Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Trek: The Next Generation,\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager<\/em> and much more.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen a story has\u00a0renamed aircraft carriers, NASA space shuttles, and the first names of thousands of\u00a0children in hundreds of countries, you realize these characters go beyond\u00a0entertainment, but are more like family. Star Trek<\/em> breaks every boundary of\u00a0judgment or expectation. It inspires, challenges, and re-thinks. Star Trek<\/em> is who we\u00a0want to be: inspired, fiercely loyal, sometimes reckless,” said\u00a0CineConcerts co-founder\u00a0Brady Beaubien.<\/p>\n Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage<\/em> will be conducted by Freer, who has become one of the most sought-after conductors of film music with a long list of full\u00a0symphonic live to projection projects under his belt ranging from the The Lord of the\u00a0Rings Trilogy<\/em> to The Godfather<\/em> to Gladiator<\/em>.
