Eighth Blackbird (stylized as eighth blackbird until April 2016) is an American contemporary music sextet based in Chicago, composed of flute, clarinet, piano, percussion, violin, and cello (Pierrot ensemble with percussion). Their name derives from the eighth stanza of Wallace Stevens' poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird.^[1]
