World Sacred Music Festival sponsors:

"Among the many forms in which the human spirit has tried to express its innermost yearnings and perceptions, music is perhaps the most universal. There is something in music that transcends and unites. This is evident in the sacred music of every community... music that expresses the universal yearning that is shared by people all over the globe."

His Holiness The Dalai Lama
in his 1999 call for sacred music festivals to celebrate the new millennium
