Media-friendly piano professor loses unfair dismissal appeal
NewsThe American pianist Claire Huangci has lost her first appeal against being sacked by the Liszt University of Weimar while she was having a baby. Claire, 33, will pursue the case in a higher court.
She’s all over German TV at the moment.
Wait, as far as I know, she’s pianist and conductor. Also a violinist?!
Does Claire conduct?
Claire Huangi,s finest pianist. Big lost for Liszt University.
Great performance of Schuberts Aufenthalt! Would be happy to take a lesson..
What a shameful tragedy for a new mother!
Norman, more context/info would be very helpful here. Lots of German articles are behind paywalls. Was she sacked BECAUSE she was pregnant/gave birth? Or were there issues surrounding her appointment in Weimar that predated her becoming a mother? Are laws in today’s Germany so discriminatory that one can be “let go” because one’s status, i.e. becoming a parent, changes?
