Kelly grew up in Sarasota, Florida, known for its vibrant arts scene, where she began taking flute lessons at the age of twelve with Betsy Hudson-Traba, Principal Flutist of the Sarasota Orchestra. Kelly was heavily involved in her local and state music programs, placing first in the Florida All-State Band multiple times. She also participated in the Sarasota Orchestra’s youth symphony programs, where she won the Young Artists Competition and discovered her passion for classical orchestral music. In addition, she spent her summers at the internationally acclaimed Interlochen Arts Camp, in Interlochen, Michigan. Kelly attended Florida State University, where she studied under Eva Amsler, receiving her Bachelor of Music (2007) in flute performance with a minor in Italian. She went on to earn her Master of Music (2009) in flute performance at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana, in Lugano, Switzerland, studying under Mario Ancillotti, Stefano Parrino, and Giovanni Crola. Kelly has performed with the Lugano Chamber Orchestra, Sarasota Orchestra, Sarasota Ballet Orchestra, Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, Northeast Atlanta Ballet Orchestra, Gwinnett Symphony, and Atlanta Festival Academy Orchestra. Kelly became the Principal Flutist of the Alpharetta Symphony in 2015. A year later, she joined the symphony’s Board of Directors where she served as Personnel Manager and President.
