 NY Met clarinetists

I've been watching the video of Nézet-Séguin and the Met orchestra and chorus performing Verdi's Requiem. As I've watched, I've realized that I'm completely out of touch with who is currently in their clarinet section. If anyone has seen the Verdi performance, who is the woman playing principal clarinet? Is she a sub? I see on the Met website that one of the co-principals is Anton Rist (male), and the other listed is Inn-hyuck Cho, but I'm afraid I can't tell from the name if that's a man or a woman. There is an indication that Inn-hyuck Cho is currently on leave..

Thanks for that link. So, I don't think I saw Jessica Phillips in the video. For one thing, she isn't listed as a principal. For another thing, the woman who is playing principal in the Requiem wears glasses and I don't think looks like this picture of Phillips on the website. So, I guess she's someone from their sub list?

I am sort of impressed by how young the section looks. Maybe it's because at 74, I'm beginning to think everyone looks young, or maybe they aren't as young as the pictures (maybe not recent head shots) make them look.

Thanks! Obviously facial recognition is not one of my strengths. I guess her glasses in the Verdi are throwing me off.

In the late 1900s and first decade of the 2000s I heard Jessica Phillips play a few solos here and there (at Clarinetfests etc) and was always more impressed with her than Ricardo to be honest (don't get me wrong, I also heard Ricardo play some awesome solo performances). Her strength always seemed to me that she played WITH people and was able to blend as well as play out soloistically. I'm certain she'd do a GREAT job of playing Principal in the Met.
