New England Conservatory Philharmonia with Julian Kuerti at Jordan Hall

Jordan Hall

We don’t have the New England Conservatory Philharmonia on our must-hear list, but tonight’s program has us reconsidering: Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with Lu Shen, Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, and Stravinsky’s Symphonies of Wind Instruments. And on the podium is BSO assistant conductor Julian Kuerti, another plus. Oh, and it’s free, at Jordan Hall, 30 Gainsborough St, Boston | 8 pm | 617.585.1122 or necmusic.edu. Filed under: MUSIC

Ill Bill + Slaine

Harpers Ferry

As the ringleader behind the legendary New York underground outfit Non Phixion, Ill Bill helped establish a new brand of hardcore hip-hop that now serves as a foundation for countless aggressive MCs. These days, as a solo artist and member of La Coka Nostra (with House of Pain and Southie MC Slaine), he’s exploring lyrical dimensions far beyond the boundaries of his already complex and conspiratorially tweaked psyche. Catch him at Harpers Ferry with his man Slaine opening, at 158 Brighton Ave, Allston | 8 pm | $13 | 617.254.9743 or harpersferryboston.com. Filed under: MUSIC

"Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" and "Bronson" at the Brattle

Brattle Theatre

All week long, the Brattle Theatre’s “Recent Raves” series has been featuring films introduced by members of the Boston Society of Film Critics. Tonight, at 7 pm, Phoenix Film Editor Peter Keough will offer his two cents worth on Werner Herzog’s latest indulgence in cinematic ecstasy (or lunacy), Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, a non-remake of Abel Ferrara’s notorious 1992 original that stars Nicolas Cage, a dying crocodile, and two singing iguanas. Then you could stick around, at 9:30 pm, for Phoenix critic Peg Aloi’s intro to another flick about a wacko, Nicolas Winding Refn’s Bronson. The Brattle is at 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | $9.75 double-feature admission | 617.876.6837 or www.brattlefilm.org. Filed under: FILM
