The Return of Sherlock Holmes
"The Empty House"

Friday, July 3, 10:00 pm
Did Sherlock Holmes survive his apparent demise at the hands of Professor Moriarty in The Final Problem? Clearly so, as his resurrection three years later in this story is a dramatic and happy event—though it causes his old friend Dr. Watson to faint at the sight of him.

A Capitol Fourth

Saturday, July 4, 7:00 pm
Jimmy Smits returns to host the biggest and brightest birthday party in the country, featuring, for the first time ever, Barry Manilow, along with the National Symphony Orchestra and the Choral Arts Society of Washington.


This year's celebration has a special treat for the entire family: Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch and more of the Sesame Street gang will be on hand to celebrate America's 233rd birthday. Capital Concerts recently caught up with Elmo and Big Bird to talk about their upcoming performance in A Capitol Fourth and their thoughts on being in the nation's capital for Independence Day.

NATURE "The Vanishing Lions"

Sunday, July 5, 7:00 pm

MASTERPIECE "Miss Marple 'A Pocket Full of Rye'"

Sunday, July 5, 8:00 pm
