A blend of sci fi, music, and art.

I have Trek Today listed on the right hand side of my blog if you want to go directly to read about science fiction related music and art.
The first is this musical event that will be conducted by the Houston Symphony:

The Houston Symphony will offer a Music of Star Trek & More Sci-Fi musical evening in July.
As reported by the Houston Symphony, on July 9th, fans can enjoy a evening of music from science fiction shows, including Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Battlestar Galactica. The evening of music will be conducted by Robert Franz.
The Star Trek part of the performance will cover music from the original series through Star Trek XI.
Fans who dress as their favorite characters can participate in the Symphony's costume contest.
To order tickets and get directions, head to the article located here.

Now THAT is really loving Star Trek and other science fiction shows when you will go to a concert in costume to enjoy the music from the shows! I am almost that crazy but I have never been one to wear a costume not even for Halloween when I was younger.

The other is a blog that discusses the inspiration for some of the scenes in the new Star Trek movie.

llustrator John Eaves has posted some of his early designs for the Riverside ship yards from Star Trek XI.



As reported at Eaves' blog, the ship yards in San Francisco were the inspiration for the Riverside ship yards. "I was still working on the Perpetual ST online when I started on the new Trek movie and during the ship phase of the project, Todd Ramon, Ryan Denning, and I were contemplating the designs for the Earthbound San Francisco ship yards," said Eaves.

I also loved Patrick Stewart's review of the new Star Trek movie:

Patrick Stewart, who is appearing in Waiting for Godot, took time out from his busy schedule to go and see Star Trek XI.
As reported by The Yorkshire Post, Stewart took a few family members along to see the latest Star Trek movie. ""Yesterday, I took my grandchildren to see the new Star Trek movie," he said. "There were three movie trailers, one for the new Terminator movie, one for the new Harry Potter and one for a Pixar animated movie. All the trailers sounded and looked the same, full of standardized levels of noise, violence and special effects and I thought, 'My God, nothing would attract me to any of these.'"

I like how he said it was odd to watch Star Trek without seeing himself in it! I don't know why, but I liked that statement!

Well I was full of Star Trek news today but you all know I am a big fan!
