Peter Kelly grew up in Newport News Virginia, the son of Robert and Peggy Kelly. He recently returned home to Newport News for an early retirement and to be closer to his family. Peter graduated from Ferguson High School in 1976. After training at the Oberlin Conservatory as a classical musician and pursuing a degree in Mathematics at Oberlin College, Peter won an audition with the ARS Musica Baroque Orchestra of Ann Arbor Michigan in 1980. This launched a career that allowed him to help establish the Lyra Baroque Orchestra after moving to the Twin Cities in 1985. He was the principal baroque oboist with the Lyra Baroque Orchestra for six years. At the same time Peter followed his passion for mathematics and computers by developing a career in programming computers, managing teams of software developers and most recently as a Senior Systems Business Analyst.
