Conant joined the orchestra, and Celibidache was extremely upset. A year passed. In
May of 1981, Conant was called to a meeting. She was told that she might be demoted to
second trombone. No reason was given. Conant went on probation for a year, to prove
herself again. It made no difference. At the end of the year, she was demoted. “You know
the problem," Celibidache told her.“We need a man for the solo trombone." Conant had no
choice but to take the case to court. The orchestra argued, “Conant does not possess the
necessary physical strength to be a leader of the trombone section."Conant was sent to a
medical clinic for extensive testing. Her lungs were extremely strong. The nurse even
asked if she was an athlete. The case dragged on. The orchestra claimed that
Conant's “shortness of breath was clearly obvious" in her performance of the famous
trombone solo in Mozart's Requiem, even though the guest conductor of those
performances had singled out Conant for praise. A special audition in front of a trombone
expert was set up. Conant played seven of the most difficult passages in classical music.
The expert said she was incredible. The orchestra claimed that she was unreliable and
unprofessional. It was a lie. After eight years, she was reinstated as first trombone.
