Patrick Flannery’s (they/them) music explores individual expression and spontaneity as core tenets of their work. As a composer, their patterned and inquisitive soundscapes are often created through improvisation, collaboration, and an embrace of the fragile and unexpected. Fascinated with unique modes of expression and storytelling, their music embraces community and continually expresses queerness through each written gesture.

Flannery, as a pianist, is an avid and vocal supporter of the performance of new music, and continually engages with audiences both familiar in the realms of contemporary composition and unfamiliar. They are often a performer of their own works, alongside being a close collaborator for many other composers and music makers.
