After graduating from the [[Royal Academy of Music]] in London, at age 22, John joined the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, later becoming the principal cellist of Sir [[Thomas Beecham]]'s [[Royal Philharmonic Orchestra]]. While in England, John developed a relationship with an English pianist, Scylla Stoner, with whom he eventually toured in 1952 as part of the Llewellyn-Kennedy Piano Trio (with the violinist [[Ernest Llewellyn]]; Stoner was billed as "Scylla Kennedy" after she and John married). But they ultimately divorced, and John returned to Australia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/music/musicology/info/topics/instrument_and_repertoire/instrument_violin_kennedy.htm |title=NSW HSC online |publisher=Hsc.csu.edu.au |date= |accessdate=11 August 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110310212852/http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/music/musicology/info/topics/instrument_and_repertoire/instrument_violin_kennedy.htm |archivedate=10 March 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Kennedy has about 30 close relatives in Australia, whom he visits whenever he tours there.<ref>''[[Limelight (magazine)|Limelight]]'', February 2008</ref> ==Early life and musical career== Kennedy was born in [[Brighton]].
