COCO MUSIC & ART organizes events that are characterized by the combination of music with fine arts, literature and media art and would like to invite to new concert and exhibition experiences.

Through international collaboration with musicians from the fields of classical music, vocal jazz & soul and cooperation with museums, galleries and political institutions, very different cultural concepts and concert programs are always created.

COCO MUSIC & ART places a special focus on combining music and visual arts from a wide variety of countries - highlighting contrasts but above all connections in order to promote open and tolerant perspectives. We are also strongly committed to music and mental health.

The idea was created during a three-month stay in New York City.

Founder Julia Kosegarten grew up near Hamburg and initially studied opera singing and cultural management at the Mozarteum University of Music and Performing Arts in Salzburg. She then gained important experience in the organization of classical concerts.

In 2014, she received a scholarship from the Nationaltheater Mannheim and was invited to take part in seminars and discussion panels on cultural management.

Afterwards Julia spent several months in New York City, where she focused intensively on the visual arts. She enthusiastically visited various galleries, museums and concerts, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the MoMA, Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera.

A visit to an exhibition of works by Agnes Martin and her newly discovered passion gave her the idea of bringing different artistic fields closer together, also in connection with innovative formats.

This is how the name Cross Over Concepts Music & Art was developped - COCO MUSIC & ART.

Back from New York, Julia Kosegarten initially worked in artist management in the field of visual arts. In 2018, she set up her own company, Coco Music & Art, and realized the project Licht&Drama during the Easter Festival - in the immediate vicinity of the Festspielhaus.

In 2019, she moved to Vienna to plan further concerts in cooperation with Galerie Wienerroither&Kohlbacher and artists from the Vienna State Opera, among others.

Due to the corona pandemic, however, all projects from 2020 had to be cancelled.

After working in the management of an international film and television production company with a focus on culture & science I nature & travel, among others in cooperation with 3sat and ARD, Julia now works again as managing director of Coco Music & Art and lives in Berlin.
