Coming to a concert hall near you?

Ah, boo - they're not coming to Inverness.

(Which isn't a complete surprise...)

Well as of today (6th Feb), looks like the concert is not coming to UK.

REberg you are just showing off now! Shame it's not coming here!

Looks like the closest the concert came or will come to Inverness was the Nov. 1 kickoff last year in London's Royal Albert Hall. That didn't set off a proximity alarm?

I didn't mean to taunt UK Chrons members. Believe it or not, many of us live within driving distance of concert stops. I thought they might want to know.
Considering the international scope of the ST fanbase, I would not be at all surprised if the tour continued beyond North America.

See? Tolja so! By September, Paris; by December, all member planets of the Federation.

This was an amazing experience, a visual celebration of 50 years of Star Trek.

A masterful mix of series and films clips was accompanied flawlessly by a live symphony orchestra. It seemed both a compliment and an insult that I often forgot the musicians were there.

Sorry about the camera phone quality. No DSLRs allowed.​

I expected the concert to be emotional for an old Trek fan, and it frequently was. The fullhouse audience spanned a wide age range. A few came in Starfleet uniform, but I didn't spot any Spock ears. All red shirts who beamed in survived the experience.

Spoiler

In the midst of a standing ovation at the conclusion, the entire orchestra rose and gave the audience the "Live Long and Prosper" salute -- a funny and touching tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy.

I was glad I could talk my wife into attending this probably once in my lifetime event. I would recommend it to others who are in range of the remaining concert stops.
