Led by acclaimed Cincinnati Pops Orchestra Conductor and frequent TSO Guest Conductor Erich Kunzel, the TSO will perform some of STAR TREK'S greatest music, including Alexander Courage's iconic theme from the original TV series, as well as multi-Emmy Award winner Jerry Goldsmith's majestic opening theme for StarTrek: Voyager, the Klingon battle theme, and the opening music from Star Trek: The MotionPicture. The concert will also feature works by CliffEidelman (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), Leonard Rosenman (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home ) Dennis McCarthy (Star Trek: The Next Generation; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Star Trek: Generations) and James Horner (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).

The STAR TREK franchise is one of the biggest cultural phenomena of modern times. The original 1966 TV series spawned five subsequent television series, ten feature films (with an eleventh currently in production), dozens of computer and video games, hundreds of novels and fan stories, annual conventions, a profusion of merchandise and even a themed attraction in Las Vegas .

Part of STAR TREK'S success can be attributed to its compelling music, which often carried as much emotional weight as the script and called to mind epic, heroic adventure. -- www.tso.ca
