La Petite Bande is broke?

I went to the website of La Petite Bande and they are asking for donations!  Very sad.  With austerity sweeping Europe, there is no money for the arts.  I have some recordings from them (Bach Orchestral Suites, Bach Violin Concerti, Vivaldi Four Seasons) and they are all full of baroque convention.  I wonder how Toronto's Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra is doing?  Last I heard, they were still giving concerts.
