On Sunday November 17, 2019, in the nave of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, the Williamsport Camerata presented its second concert, under the direction of Christian Humcke and Harry Claude Baum. The concert featured music by American composers, including works by Billings, Copland, Barber, Thompson, Paulus, Dett, Hogan, and Lauridsen. Both Christian and Harry Claude composed pieces that were also performed by the group.

The concert was inspired by by the extraordinary costs involved in replacing St. Mark's organ blower which, after many years of dedicated service, failed. Donations at the concert totaled $1518. Members have been quite generous in supporting the costs of the repair and to date, over $9700 has been donated to the repair expenses. To the extent that costs exceed the current donations, certain memorial funds dedicated to the organ fund will be used for the repair.

Thank you Christian for organizing the concert to support the organ fund - and thank you members and concert guests for your financial support
