June 23: Arts and the Healthy Brain: An Open House

June 24: Heart of the King: A Tribute to Elvis

Elvis lives (kind of) at the Strathmore this weekend. NS Productions Inc. brings its two-part tribute to the King of Rock 'n' Roll, featuring live re-creations of two of his iconic performances. In part one, young Elvis, at the height of his Hollywood fame, performs his early rock hits. After that, '70s Elvis, with all his well-coiffed glitz, takes the stage and runs through his later songbook.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. show start at $45.

June 26: Best of Serenade Chorale Festival

This free concert assembles some of the finest vocal talents in the world, bringing together award-winning ensembles from Indonesia, Russia, Africa, Canada and the United States. Each group will perform songs from its native culture before untiting at the end for one big encore. 

All seating for the 5 p.m. show is general admission, and no tickets are required, so get there early if you want a good spot.

June 28 and 29: Specialty Tea: Fancy Nancy Dress-Up Tea Party

If you know Fancy Nancy, then you know any tea party bearing her name can only be the classiest event in town. At 1 p.m. on both days, the Strathmore is hosting a child-centric tea time in Nancy's honor, featuring food, music, Fancy Nancy story time and, of course, Strathmore Blend Tea. Attendees are invited to dress in their favorite fancy garb.
