We are flannau duo
we wear flannels to all of our concerts
The Flannau Duo ( Flens+Hannau ) is a dynamic, new music loving, tour-de-force ensemble combining piano, percussion, electronics, improvisation, and absurdism.
Jonathan Hannau: piano
Kyle Flens: percussion
Jon and Kyle first performed together as part of the 2021 Thirsty Ears Festival in Chicago. Shortly after they schemed to create an official identity for themselves solely out of puns and hybrid names. Cold Pressed Reviews praised Flannau Duo for "beautifully performing for maximum sonic effect." The duo takes pride in eclectic programming, not adhering to any specific musical aesthetic. Flannau Duo performs in the Chicago area and beyond exploring a multitude of sounds, styles, and moods from composers and artists from every musical corner.
The duo is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas and is endorsed by Pearl Drums & Adams Percussion Instruments. Projects of Flannau Duo were funded in 2026 by a New Music USA Creator Fund and in 2023 by a DCASE Individual Artist Project Grant. 2025 performance highlights include the Ear Taxi Festival, The SONICT concert series at University of Wisconsin Whitewater, and the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC). 2024 performance highlights include the Flight 88 chamber series in Cincinnati OH and the New Music Festival at Northern Illinois University.
