Classical WSMR is celebrating Public Radio Music Day

You can celebrate the role Classical WSMR and Public Radio in general play in using the power of music as a unifying force.

It's something public radio stations across the country are doing on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Starting at 6 a.m., Classical WSMR will be sharing music from live performances, recorded locally.
