This past Saturday evening, March 14, the Italian Charities of America (ICA), located on Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst, sponsored for the community a free evening of entertainment from the singer Amanda Pascali and her back-up duo of musicians. They played to a packed house of enthusiastic and appreciative listeners.
