About
From a family of visual artists in Chicago,
Virginia Cohen began writing songs in earnest while living in Paris.
As many do, Cohen fell in love with Paris.
+
And also with the wonder of writing songs & singing them.
+
Rothko, Rilke, Rumi, Oliver, Carson and Käthe Kollwitz all inform her music.
Cohen’s writing arises equally from a deep love of history, humanity, and the Natural world.
Her music aspires to offer some necessary Beauty to this ruptured world.
