THE EVENT
Send + Receive
The 19th iteration of Send + Receive, one of North America’s longest running media arts festivals to investigate the disciplines of experimental music and sound art, is happening throughout the Exchange until the end of the weekend. From Friday and Saturday night’s sound art experiences at ace art, to Sunday afternoon’s intimate show by Joe McPhee and Graham Lambkin at Forth, Send + Receive is always a once-in-a-lifetime event you have to experience to believe.

THE STAGE
Raffi @ Pantages Playhouse
It’s funny to think about it, but Raffi has been singing his songs to the little ones for 40 years now, meaning the kids he once performed for may already have teenagers of their own. To commemorate four decades of sing-alongs (and his first album, Singable Songs for the Very Young), he’s bringing such hits as “Baby Beluga” and “Bananaphone” to the Pantages Playhouse Theatre on Saturday, October 14. Tickets start at just $25 and are available through Ticketmaster.
