But the committee thought otherwise. They were amazed. Trained classical musicians
say they can tell whether a player is good almost instantly― sometimes in just the first
few bars ― and with Conant they knew. After she left the audition room, the
Philharmonic's music director, Sergiu Celibidache, cried out, “That's who we want!"
Somebody went backstage to find Conant. She came back into the audition room, and
when she stepped out from behind the screen, she heard someone shout, “Was ist'n des?
Meine Gotter!" They were expecting Herr Conant. This was Frau Conant.
It was an awkward situation, to say the least. Celibidache was a conductor from the
old school, a proud and strong-willed man with very definite ideas about how music
ought to be played―and about who ought to play the music. What's more, this was
Germany, the land where classical music was bom. To Celibidache, a woman could not
play the trombone. The Munich Philharmonic had one or two women on the violin and
the oboe. But those were “feminine" instruments. The trombone was masculine.
It was the instrument that men played in military marching bands.
