"Her dream: &amp;amp;#8220;To collaborate with Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Sting. And to win a Grammy!&amp;amp;#8221; Why she&amp;amp;#8217;s amazing: How many saxophonists can say they&amp;amp;#8217;ve played for a presidential inauguration? Kelly did when she was just 17, on the eve of Obama&amp;amp;#8217;s taking oath. She first sat at the piano at age six, gave the clarinet a whirl at age eight, and at 10 she found her real love, the sax. &amp;amp;#8220;The first time I played, it just felt right,&amp;amp;#8221; she says. There was just one problem: &amp;amp;#8220;I was too small to hold it, so I&amp;amp;#8217;d have to sit on my case and put a pillow out in front of me to cushion it.&amp;amp;#8221; Fast-forward to 2011, and the professional-music major has released seven records under her own label, performed with her local symphony (that would be the Boston Pops), received praise from Wynton Marsalis and been featured on NPR. Her jazz quintet has played 600-plus shows in 20 countries. How she unwinds: &amp;amp;#8220;I hang out with my soft, fluffy dog, Asher. When I play abroad, I have to visit a local puppy store to get my fix.&amp;amp;#8221; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
