Eighth Blackbird

Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater (Broad and Spruce Streets)
8 p.m., Friday, $24.

The intriguing ensemble Eighth Blackbird says it aims to "combine the finesse of a string quartet, the energy of a rock band, and the audacity of a storefront theater company." The sextet plays a recital of works by the Brooklyn-based composer collective Sleeping Giant -- Andrew Norman, Ted Hearne, Chris Cerrone, Timo Andres, Jacob Cooper, and Rob Honstein.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Various venues
2 & 7 p.m., Sunday and Wednesday.

Though its one of the greatest of movie westerns, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, is also a valedictory for the genre. George Roy Hill's 1969 film is a deft mix of of drama and comedy, owing a lot to its stars, Paul Newman and Robert Redford (not to mention Katherine Ross). The tale of outlaw pals trying to make their way in 1890s Wyoming (and Bolivia) hasn't been seen in theaters in over 40 years, but the TCM Big Screen Classics series, which brings classic movies back in the original aspect ratio with digital projection, has made it the first selection released for a two_day national release.
