Festival of Song USA is the legacy of Silvana Romania, radio producer at ICN Radio. Silvana was an amazing woman. She was committed to friends and family and always gave more of herself than she had to give at times. She passed away in July 2015. In January 2015 she put together her 20th and last Festival of Song USA dinner and dance show. 

The 21st Annual show would be run by me, Maria Grazia, her daughter. ..and since 2016 the legacy still continues today. So many people come together to honor my mother's memory to bring forward a show she built to bring talented people together to compete for the trophy that would earn them a round trip ticket to Sicily in the summer to perform at Gianni Contino's Cantamare Show in Palermo, Sicily. 

Who's winner performs at Festival of Song USA. The dream I have for this show is to one day be able to start a scholarship fund in my mother's honor for students of the arts. My mother loved performance…singing, acting, dancing. If I can help someone nurture their talent by offering them a scholarship in my mother's name, I know my mom would be smiling down on us. The Festival of Song USA is a dinner and dance show. 

Festival of Song features a Cocktail Hour, Complete Dinner and Dessert with an amazing display of singing talent as well as lots of dancing. My mother wanted to bring people together to eat, dance and enjoy the show. Thank you for allowing me to continue this, through your participation and encouragement we are able to continue a great show that my mother started with lots of love in her heart. Sincerely, and with much love, Maria Grazia
