Cenk Ergün

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 today at 7:30 p.m. Ergün has lived in New York for many years and is unrivaled in the current generation of composers. His music is marked by long-duration and slow-moving sound fields, often micro-tonal. He'll do 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 scored for female choir, children's choir, harpsichords and trombones. Admission is free. (Niesel)
