Oxford's own Kelly W. Burns (pictured left with Ole Miss opere Theatre's production of Die Fledermaus) is leaving this weekend for Lyric Opera Studio in Weimar, Germany. Kelly auditioned for the program in Manhattan where he lives and attends Manhattan School of Music. During the summer program Kelly will perform in Mozart's Cosi fan tutti and in the scenes program. Mr. Burns will live in a small apartment with fellow Ole Miss graduate Ms. Allison Stanford. Kelly graduated from Lafayette High School in 2001. He began studying voice with Mrs. Cynthia Linton and continued his studies with her during his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Ole Miss. In 2005 Kelly graduated with his Bachelors degree in Vocal Performance and in 2007 Kelly earned his Master's in choral conducting under the direction of Dr. Donald Trott at the University of Mississippi. Currently, Mr. Burns studies with Ms. Ashley Pulliam at the Manhattan School of Music and will graduate in 2009 with a masters in vocal performance. We are all happy and excited for Ms. Kelly and wish him safe and fun travels and opportunities for lots and lots of bratwurst. In other news, THE WATERS ARE BACK IN OXFORD. Yes, I have even 
spotted them. The Waters flew into Memphis yesterday and stayed the night catching up with old friends. Today the Waters left Memphis and traveled to Oxford where the ate at the new restaurant in Taylor that Emeligh's owns. As you may remember, Whitney basically ran Emeligh's forever so the new restaurant was a great treat for owner Linda and Whitney. After a hearty lunch, the short-haired couple made their way back to Oxford to Willie Price Nursery School and hung out with me in my boss' office. What a day. The Waters left to report home to Momma Gentry for dinner and visiting with Whitney's grandfather. This weekend's festivities will surely result in more fun times with the Waters and all other out-of-town guests.
