Thank
you for your interest in the 7th annual 2003 Monterey World Music

This year’s theme, HOPE FOR THE WORLD, expresses the true
purpose of this Festival – to inspire, celebrate and unite
through the universal language of music.
"Music articulates the poignant, the beautiful," writes
Festival Director David Cloutier. The Cultural Council for Monterey
County launches the annual 2003 Monterey World Music Festival
with the theme, HOPE FOR THE WORLD. In its 7th season of presenting
over a hundred of the highest-caliber World musicians, the Festival
promotes cultural understanding and awareness, celebrates humankind’s
differences, and transcends cultural boundaries through the universal
language of music.

Morocco, Bulgaria, West Africa, Persia and Israel will be heard
throughout Monterey County from DAVKA (Jewish Diaspora Fusion),
