Professional singer-organists take turns to perform an ethereal arrangement of 'Il Cielo in una Staza', the famous song by Gino Paoli, originally released in 1960. The durational piece is repeated, uninterruptedly, for five house a day for several days, like a never-ending lullaby.  

Kjartansson's works are characerised by a profound sense of melancholy which could not be more appropriate for St Mary Magdalene, Tanworth in Arden, the place where singer-songwriter Nick Drake is buried. This quintessentially English church, in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, is the third setting for 'The Sky in a Room', following on from the Church of San Carlo al Lazzaretto, Milan (2020) and the National Museum Cardiff (2018).

Performances run daily 25 June through 3 July, 2-7pm.

All are welcome to join the programme - just deop in as often and for as long as you wish.
