Cosby to perform benefit for NEPR

Bill Cosby will perform a benefit concert in support of New England Public Radio's 50th anniversary Capital Campaign at Springfield's Symphony Hall on Saturday, March 2 at 8 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the programs and services of WFCR and all-news WNNZ.

"New England Public Radio provides a great public service to the area," said Cosby. "I am proud to support NEPR."

Tickets ($37.50, $47.50, $57.50 and $75) are on sale now at the Symphony Hall Box Office (413) 788-7033 or at Ticketmaster.com.

The station's 50th anniversary Capital Campaign, launched in 2011, will fund the station's expansion into downtown Springfield, where it is purchasing the first floor of the Fuller Block Building at 1537 Main St. Additional campaign funds will be used to expand local programming and for endowment purposes.
