STAR TREK To Celebrate 50th Anniversary with Nationwide Concert Tour

Star Trek celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, and while Justin Lin's Star Trek 3 is still on schedule to hit theaters in 2016, there's another method of celebration that will have Trekkies (or Trekkers, whatever you prefer) beaming.

Hero Complex reports that a nationwide concert tour called Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage will begin in Florida in January of 2016 and travel to over 100 cities in North America before coming to a close in April. It's "a symphonic tribute to the music from the legendary sci-fi franchise," and will feature a symphony orchestra performing the work of composers Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and Leonard Rosenman as footage from Star Trek films and television programs plays on a 40-foot screen on stage. It'll also include music from the video game Starfleet Academy, so gamers will have something to look forward to also.

Tickets have not been made available yet so we're not sure about pricing, but if you're a hardcore Trek fan, this is definitely something you won't want to miss.
