Star Trek // The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)

In June 2017, The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) aired a concert entitled “Galaxymphony” performed by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra /DR SymfoniOrkestret, the two choirs Hymnia and Camarata with various soloists conducted by Anthony Hermus. The concert was hosted by legendary TV host Jakob Stegelmann and featured music from a variety of sci-fi movies including Star Wars.
Galaxymphony is an original production by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

[@agffans5725]

The DR1 (and National) Symphony Orchestra is the Danish equivalent to the English BBC1 Symphony Orchestra, so it's top quality public service. You will also find that they have the same kind of high production standards to make children like this kind of symphony orchestra music for educational purpose to "nurture" their development. They are all doing this for the love of it and not for the actual pay check and money.

@Apeck Ak Um, no. If anything, he had even more influence during the early years of TNG than he ever had during TOS. Not to mention that he didn't write the original quote to begin with - it was first used as an episode title and only later introduced as a narrative, and suggested by Samuel Peeples. It's also based on similar quotes from a host of other, older sources.

It's actually not Patrick Stewart. The narrator is David Bateson, mainly known for being the voice of Agent 47 in the Danish produced game series Hitman. He was born in South Africa but has lived permanently in Denmark since 1992, working as an actor and narrator, besides his work as Agent 47. So the DR1 (and National) Symphony Orchestra, which is the Danish equivalent to the English BBC1 Symphony Orchestra, also make use of him and his skills as narrator, like in this case.

[@JSkyGemini]

I had a much older brother who was totally into TOS, I'd watch it with him but I was around 5 years old & was too young to fully appreciate it. A few years later, I was all in. From the animated series to the comics, from the movies to Star Trek Online, the game. I have a 3D chess set from the Mint and a Star Trek logo tattoo. And have never missed opening night of every single movie, at the theatre since the first one in 1979. I love that Discovery brought back Christopher Pike and think Anson Mount makes an excellent one. I hope one day all the real world's nonsense stops and Gene Roddenberry's world begins, it'll be one hell of an awesome place.

[@mulrich]

I have only respect for Gene Roddenberry for giving us a franchise like "Star Trek", considering how much I've enjoyed it over the years, but at the same time, I can't help but feel that kicking him upstairs after the first season or two of TNG was a beneficial move, because those two seasons have some... questionable episodes.
