Curse and Caution
Tales from the Gathered Leaves Vault

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2025 | 2:00 PM
Auditorium, National Gallery of Canada
380 Sussex Drive

Tickets

The Ottawa Baroque Consort and storyteller David Brennan are back with an epic new show!

Five years ago the auditorium at the Gallery was sold out with "Beautiful Monsters". Here is an excerpt from that performance:

Curse and Caution is our long-awaited chance to mount a new show in the same style. Drawings from the Gathered Leaves exhibition are projected on the 2-storey Imax screen and paired with baroque music and dynamic storytelling.

"Marvellous matinee performance. A tightly-coordinated production."
-The Mainstreeter

The drawings, dating from the 15th-20th century, feature rarely seen works that are out on display after long periods out of sight. Subjects from history and mythology serve as poignant explorations of the human condition. We highly recommend a visit to the gallery to take in the exhibition itself.

"Would you watch it again?"
"I'd watch it every month. The gallery should do this with every one of its exhibitions."
- A concertgoer, after seeing Beautiful Monsters
