Kelly Schiele
~ Cellist ~
Kelly has been playing Cello since 1984 and has enjoyed a distinguished career as Principle Cellist in several local ensembles, including the juried All-State Orchestra. Kelly has also studied with some very prominent cellists in Ohio, including Leighton Conkling (Ohio University) and Madalena Marx Ryon (Akron Symphony). As Business Manager for the ensemble, she is one of the founding members of Suite Elegance and has been with the group since its inception in 1995 – which, incidentally, is when she realized a lifetime dream of working with weddings. In addition to her first love - performing - Kelly is a Wedding Coordinator and Event Planner, a wife and a mother of three beautiful children (with another on the way). Aside from Suite Elegance, Kelly is currently active in the music ministry of First Christian Church in Canton, Ohio, where she and her family are also active members.
