Jonny Ingall – Cello
Jonny grew up in Rotherham and studied cello with Jennifer Round. He was awarded the ABRSM’s Marguerite Swan Memorial Prize for the highest mark for Grade 8 Cello in 1990. Following a twenty-year break, he came back to playing the cello in 2013. Soon afterwards he joined Hallam Sinfonia, and in 2015 he was appointed principal cellist of Sheffield Symphony Orchestra. He performed Fauré’s Élégie in June 2018 at Wentworth Woodhouse with Rotherham Symphony Orchestra, with whom he was also principal cellist. He is a regular member of The Brigantes Orchestra, Sheffield’s professional orchestra. He has lessons with Peggy Nolan in Manchester.
Over the last few years he has discovered a passion for composition and he writes incidental music for traditional children’s stories, which he and Lucy have performed at Greenhill Community Library and various local schools.
When he is not busy playing his cello, Jonny works as a freelance braille transcriber, proofreader and copy-editor.
