Pianist, composer and singer Clarice Assad will be joining the Jazz Meets Classical ensemble for a concert including her Suite for Lower Strings, as well as pieces by Jobim, VillaLobos, Balentine and Nascimento.
7:30 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, San Antonio Botanical Garden, 555 Funston. $25 for seating on the patio; $15 for those who bring their own seating for the lawn, sabot.org.
2. Movie

Bodyguard” is the summer sequel for you. It’s about 90 minutes worth of scrapping and shooting from Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek — plus some A-list cameos — and not much else. Opens Wednesday in theaters.
