The TSO (Toronto Symphony Orchestra) announced today that they will be staging one of those alternative audience grabber concerts on June 20th and 21st. A TSO Star Wars concert happened three years ago and was a success. This time it is Star Trek's turn. As much as I love the music of Prokofiev, Beethoven, and Mozart, I'm the first to say that concerts of the tie-in type are not a bad idea.Like many organized symphony orchestras, the TSO is forever battling the budget: They must think of creative ways of enticing those who would not normally see an orchestra, to enter through Roy Thompson Hall's main doors.
Outside of musical themes mentioned in the article linked below, I don't know what is being played but I doubt the fans will care... so long as they can imagine the Starship Enterprise floating by; or that space station floating around, from that show with the space station.
