Since October 2013 La Petite Bande has a new friend group: ‘Friends of La Petite Bande’. This group was started to create a secure extra source of income for the orchestra, supported by as many LPB fans as possible. Unlike subventions or sponsoring this friend group can serve as a truly safe basis for the ensemble and in this way we also want to stay in touch with the fans all over the world. Therefore, the ‘Friends’ are very important for La Petite Bande: together they form the ‘backbone’ of the orchestra!
Just imagine… If the HALF of all people who underscribed the petition against the stop of subventions in 2012 (20.000 people from all over the world!) would inscribe as a ‘Friend of La Petite Bande’, for 50 euro per year, this would mean a structural annual support of 500.000 euro: this would be almost enough to replace all the lost annual subventions, it would mean the survival of the ensemble.
Being a member of the ‘LPB Friends’ is THE way to stay in touch with the ensemble, to receive the schedule for upcoming concerts, and to stay updated about the latest developments around La Petite Bande and Sigiswald Kuijken.
Therefore, this is a warm-hearted invitation for you to inscribe as a member of the new friend group ‘Friends of La Petite Bande’!
There are two possibilities to inscribe:
You can become a ‘friend’ by annually donating 50 euro. People who pay income tax in Belgium will have the possibility to deduct this membership from their taxes through the Koning Boudewijn Stichting. If you like, you will receive the ‘Friend letter’ with surprising texts (part of an interview, a quote, or a short sound sample by Sigiswald Kuijken) and announcement of the upcoming concerts.
With a one-time donation of 1000 euro you will become a ‘Lifelong Friend’. People who pay income tax in Belgium will have the possibility to deduct this membership from their taxes through the Koning Boudewijn Stichting. Your name will be mentioned as a ‘Lifelong Friend’ at this page of the LPB website (anonymous is possible too). If you like, you will receive the ‘Friend letter’ with surprising texts (part of an interview, a quote, or a short sound sample by Sigiswald Kuijken) and announcement of the upcoming concerts, for the rest of your life!
