The A2SO and the student orchestra, will perform the following repertoire:
• D String Boogie
• Fiddles on Fire
• The Fourth movement from Dvorak's New World Symphony
• Music from The Phantom of the Opera
• Berceuse and Finale from Stravinsky's Firebird
• The Overture from Rossini's Barber of Seville

Kelly went on to receive degrees in Flute performance and English Language Literature from the University of Michigan, and a Masters in Flute Performance from the University of Southern California.
