Does a vote of no confidence mean anything? In American orchestras, musicians have virtually no power.

It’s symbolic and something that wealthy donors will pay attention to.
Music to my ears.
Gotta love it when simping for Israel gets you fired.
So does that mean the Pianist gets his job back?
The pianist, Jayson Gillham is an international soloist. He is not a member of the orchestra. He was hired to play one weekend in Melbourne. He's scheduled to play in many other places with many other orchestras in the coming months. He'll be fine.
Its doubtful he even lost any money from the canceled shows in Melbourne. A professional soloist with legal council wouldn't sign a contract with a clause allowing the orchestra to unilaterally terminate the contract without pay. Beyond force majeure, you have to pay for concerts canceled at the last minute, at least in every contract I've read.
Oh well that's good
It seems like their pianist might be out for now, still flapping in the wind as it were. Should be able to get a firm handshake deal though, and hopefully that gets the pianist to come on stage again.
(This is all japes, no clue about the real answer.)
He didn’t lose his job technically, but also kinda yes, he will be performing again.
Uno reverse!
