SFB soloist Luke Ingham promoted

[PeggyR]

Luke Ingham has been promoted to principal. Congratulations to Mr. Ingham.

Yes, congratulations indeed. I think we saw this coming, especially with the retirements in the men's ranks.

Oh, yay, great news, and yes, Pherank, I agree, this was something that felt imminent.

Really glad for him. He's got some growing into the role at some levels, but his performances in partnering YY, particularly in Hummingbird, just made my instincts scream "yes!" Great news (atop the sense of loss I feel at losing Smith and Martin Cintas, and the bad news I just learned, that Simone Messmer won't be returning).
