Recognizing
music as an expression of humanity's most profound aspirations
and as a way to transcend borders of all kinds-linguistic, national,
cultural, ideological, racial and religious, the 2008 World Festival
of Sacred Music is the result of an outpouring of interest and
enthusiasm from community partners and artists who participated
in the Festival in 1999, 2002 and 2005.
The World Festival
of Sacred Music is founded on the
belief that sacred music has the ability to bring forth
our shared human values of peace, understanding, and respect for
all living things. The Festival is not
a commercial venture, nor does it promote or endorse any political
or religious agenda. Offering an alternative, community-oriented
model to the corporate values that dominate the entertainment culture
of Los Angeles, the Festival provides opportunities for people
to come together and investigate issues of tolerance and diversity
within our complex, urban environment. |
