Concert Gallery MAISON 44 was founded by Ute Stoecklin in 2002.
The Concert Gallery’s programmatic concept is interdisciplinary in nature and encompasses exhibitions, lecture concerts, readings, lectures and panel discussions. Scholarly topics also feature.
The goal is to bring individual disciplines and artistic genres together and into contact with each other.
Of fundamental importance are the interconnections between content and message: the discourse that results from opening up, from conversing and from engaging in dialogue. In this sense, Maison 44 also sees itself as a forum for contemporary issues. At the core of its activities lie contemporary music and the art of today. Cultural exchange beyond national boundaries is another matter of concern and is already being realized together with artists of several European countries, in particular from the nations of Eastern Europe such as Poland, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine. The Concert Gallery is a non-profit association whose aim is solely to maintain itself. There is also a Society of Supporters of the Concert Gallery.
Ute Stoecklin is a musician who since 2002 has been the director of the Concert Gallery Maison 44 in Basel. Its interdisciplinary programme aims to unite art, music, literature and scholarly topics. She has authored artist biographies, work introductions and articles on art and music, and has curated interdisciplinary cultural projects. As a pianist specializing in music of the 20th and 21st centuries, Stoecklin performs works of contemporary composers and has given world premières, perfomed in musico-literary projects and made recordings for radio and for CD. Ute Stoecklin is a founding member and the president of the Meinrad Schütter Society (www.meinrad-schuetter.ch). In 2010 she published a biography entitled: Meinrad Schütter - Music as Life’s Work, or The art of avoiding distractions (Musikverlag Müller&Schade, Bern)
