The Cleveland Museum of Art is ready to stage a performance of a new musical work inspired by art in the collection. On the next “Applause,” meet the composer and go behind the scenes of one of the rehearsals. Plus, we salute a pair of Ohio Veterans who both turned to art but for very different reasons.

Watch “Applause” Friday night at 8:30 on WVIZ Ideastream Public Media or anytime with the PBS app.
