Brian Stokes Mitchell, Alan Cumming, Kathleen Chalfant and More Join Virtual Benefit Concert

This one-night-only benefit concert celebrates the legacy, mission, and spirit of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and supports the school's commitment to return to free tuition for all undergraduate students. The evening will feature musical performances, celebrity readings, and "shout outs" from distinguished guests, which together tell the story of The Cooper Union-from the history of civic engagement in the Great Hall to the outsized impact of Cooper innovation in New York and beyond.
