Turkey’s Cenk Ergün, a composer and improviser whose work has been performed by So Percussion, JACK Quartet, Alarm Will Sound and Yarn/Wire, concludes the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Performing Arts series with a performance that takes place in the museum’s atrium at 7:30 tonight.

Ergün will conduct a large immersive event in the atrium with musicians scattered throughout the space so that the audience can move through it or simply sit still.

The concert will represent the world premiere of Formare, a piece Ergün has scored for female choir, children’s choir, harpsichords and trombones.

Last night, he held a dress rehearsal in the atrium. Here’s what we saw.
