Here is your chance to see a Star Trek alum in person, plus…it’s free. Nichelle Nichols will be a performing vocalist in “Human Spaceflight: The Kennedy Legacy” at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, May 25th at 7pm. Also performing are the Space Philharmonic, Soldier’s Chorus of The US Army Field Band, and many more.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) invites you to a special musical celebration honoring 50 years of American spaceflight. The program includes a Special Tribute to Human Spaceflight, and musical selections by Copland, Holst, Beethoven, Bernstein, Mancini, Courage/Roddenberry, Silvestri, Vaughn Williams, and Saint Saëns. Performance Timing: One hour.

Even though this is a free event tickets are still required, and as far as we can tell, the only way to get tickets is in line at the Hall of Nations beginning at 5pm the day of the event.

This is a FREE event; reserved seating tickets are required. Tickets will be distributed, two (2) per person in line, beginning at 5 p.m. in the Hall of Nations on the day of the performance. Please note that free parking is NOT available when picking up free tickets or attending free performances.
