Concert held for slain journalist Daniel Pearl at US Consulate

in Pakistan

“I had the honor to attend a dinner hosted by Shelley Tayar in Malta. The evening, which featured music from Russian and Maltese performers was truly an embodiment of your son's vision of linking people through music.

Shelley brought together a multiethnic group of political leaders, cultural figures and other Maltese who are committed to promoting greater cross cultural understanding for a very enjoyable evening. I look forward to participating in future Daniel Pearl Music Days here in Malta and in helping to promote your son's ideals."
