1. One of India's renowned music masters, sarod virtuoso Rajeev Taranath, brings a rare performance of classical South Asian music to University of Puget Sound at 7:30 p.m. in Rausch Auditorium. Accompanied by Vikas Yendluri on the tabla, the duo will perform ragas - intricate forms of colorfully improvised melodies and rhythms, which have drawn accolades on their many international tours.  

2. The Saint Martin's University Music Program's final Music @ 11 series ends with internationally recognized pianist Stephen Moore, Ph. D., and his thoughts on the Emile Jaques-Dalcroze approach to music. Moore will perform a piano recital, "Carnival in Venice," as well as conduct a master class on the Dalcroze approach at the appropriate time of 11 a.m. in Kreilsheimer Hall.

3. JobFest, the largest young adult job fair in Washington for job seekers age 16 to 24, will be held from 2-5 p.m. at the STAR Center in Tacoma

4. The 4th Annual TCC Diversity Film Festival rolls on with Purgatorio, in which director Rodrigo Reyes likens the U.S./Mexico border to a terrestrial version of the purgatory envisioned by Dante Alighieri. It's an apt comparison; both the border and Dante's supernatural way station serve as punishment-filled waiting rooms for wandering souls struggling toward a final destination. Catch it at 2 and 6:30 p.m. in The Grand Cinema.

5. Hot Hoodoo, The Falsies and Red Red Red will rock Olympia's all-ages Northern at 8 p.m.
