We have a plan!

More than 20.000 people have signed the petition that La Petite Bande put on line in early June of 2012, when the orchestra was threatened with losing its structural subsidies. And indeed, as you've probably suspected, despite the massive and heart-warming support, the Culture Minister has eliminated our subsidies as of 1 January 2013.

This drastic and deliberately partisan intervention by the government remains inexplicable, both to us and to many of our audiences. It does not in the least consider how much La Petite Bande is appreciated, both within Belgium and all over the world.

We would like to announce formally and plainly to all of you that the orchestra will continue its work. But how will this be possible without government support? We have a plan, and if you'd like to know more about it, click the button below.

Thank you in advance for your continued interest,

Sigiswald Kuijken
