COLUMBUS, OHIO, MAY 1, 2015 — Celebrate Mother’s Day this year with WOSU Public Media, Classical 101 and ProMusica Chamber Orchestra at “Youth & Family Day”, Sunday, May 10 from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at WOSU@COSI.

“Youth & Family Day” is a free afternoon of performances and musical activities open to children and families in Central Ohio.
