Suzanne Hannau

I am a versatile performer with many different kinds of performances throughout the year. In addition to formal performances on flute and voice (see below), I can be found singing and playing at wedding ceremonies throughout the Greater Chicagoland area. Additionally, I am a recording artist who has been involved in projects with Liturgical Training Publications, Atlas Arts Media, and PlaygroundMusicUSA. Every week I can be found conducting the St. Vincent Ensemble at the 5:00pm Sunday evening Mass, and I can be found singing there most weeks at the 5:00pm Saturday Masses as well. Additionally, I can be found singing weddings and with the Sunday morning choir at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Old Town.
