She's in. She's out.
She's in, but only for a while, and then she's out.
And now - finally? - she's back in.
Hai-Ye Ni, the principal cellist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, received tenure at the end of the orchestra's Asian tour, and will continue on in her current job, an orchestra spokeswoman confirmed.
You might remember that a year ago she was given the boot by her colleagues. She huffed and puffed, legally speaking, and won another year.
Players were divided about what to do at the close of this season, but in the end she gathered the support she needed to stay.
Unusually rough entry. Let us be among the first to extend a warm welcome.
A total of 10 first-year orchestra players, by the way, were awarded tenure at the end of tour.
