INFO: <a href="https://musicguildonline.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">musicguildonline.org</a> | 310.573.0722  Pacific Palisades, CA — The Music Guild at St. Matthew's launches its 42nd concert season on Friday, October 2, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. with brilliance, color, and celebration. Led by Music Director and Conductor Dwayne S. Milburn, the acclaimed Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew's welcomes internationally recognized organist Haesung Park for a program featuring Handel's beloved Organ Concerto in F Major, HWV 295 ("The Cuckoo and the Nightingale"), Respighi's colorful Botticelli Triptych, and Mozart's majestic Symphony No. 39. 
"This season opener invites audiences into a world of wonder, beauty, and discovery," said Music Director Dwayne S. Milburn. "This program spans centuries of musical imagination, from Handel's joyful dialogue between organ and orchestra to the luminous colors of Respighi and the profound expressive depth of Mozart. We are especially delighted to welcome organist Haesung Park for Handel’s “The Cuckoo and the Nightingale”." 

The Program 
The concert opens with Handel's delightful Organ Concerto in F Major, HWV 295 “The Cuckoo and the Nightingale”. Inspired by birdsong, the work blends sparkling orchestral textures with virtuosic organ passages that evoke the calls of the cuckoo and nightingale. Hear organist Haesung Park bring the restored Pardee Memorial Fisk organ to life! 
Next, Respighi’s Botticelli Triptych transforms three Renaissance paintings into glowing orchestral scenes. Audiences will encounter a succession of musical images, from the radiant beauty of Spring to the dreamlike atmosphere of The Adoration of the Magi and the dramatic sweep of The Birth of Venus. 
The night concludes with one of Mozart's final symphonies, Symphony No. 39. The work unfolds through soaring melodies, graceful dances, and moments of profound emotional depth, culminating in a finale of dazzling vitality. Audiences will experience Mozart at the height of his creative powers, where elegance and expressive intensity coexist in perfect balance. 

The Guest Artists 
Dr. Haesung Park began her music studies at the age of four in her hometown of Seoul, South Korea. She received her musical training at the Korean National University of Arts, her Master of Music degree from Boston University and her Doctor of Musical Arts degree with outstanding honors from the University of Southern California where she studied piano and organ with Norman Krieger and Dr. Ladd Thomas, respectively. Dr. Park has an extensive career as a collaborative pianist and recitalist and can be heard as the featured pianist on the soundtrack of the documentary With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, which was recorded at the Capitol Records studio in Hollywood. Dr. Park is currently the organist and pianist at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Pacific Palisades as well as at Vallejo Drive Seventh Adventist Church in Glendale. She is also the principal keyboardist for The Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s. 

Free Pre-Concert Talk

IMAN Cultural Center

Fixing &amp; Flipping Houses.&nbsp; Everyone dreams of flipping houses, but very few ever really do it.&nbsp; Why is that?&nbsp; Rehabs are fun and challenging, and the profits can be enormous.&nbsp; Plus, compared to other investments, you receive your profits in months (not years). Not to mention those HGTV shows are just so additive. So why don’t more people do it?&nbsp; The answer is simple; people don’t know how to get started.&nbsp; They don’t know where to turn, what to do, or who to trust.&nbsp; Well, stay tuned, because we have the answer. &nbsp; Guest Speaker. The answer is Don Costa, our very special guest speaker at our October meeting. &nbsp;During his presentation, Don will cover four crucial topics: (1) How to find houses to flip, (2) How to finance your purchase, (3) How to rehab your property, and (4) How to flip your house quickly for fun and profit.&nbsp; Specifically, Don will be discussing: &nbsp;

*&nbsp; Finding the perfect flip
*&nbsp; Funding your rehabs the right way
*&nbsp; Systems to manage your team &amp; timeline
*&nbsp; Tips to cash flow as you grow
*&nbsp; Maximizing your exit (getting the most profit out of each flip) &nbsp;
If you’re already fixing and flipping houses, or just getting started, you’re going to love Don’s presentation!&nbsp; Don is going to explain why “fixing &amp; flipping” is the most lucrative (and most fun) strategy in real estate investing.&nbsp; Plus, he has plenty of real estate experiences and examples to share with you.&nbsp; Most importantly, he has actually done it with hundreds of rehabs throughout California. Don is going to show you how to get started and be successful.&nbsp;
Date &amp; Time: Thursday night, October 8, 2026, 6:30 to 9:30 pm.&nbsp;
Location:&nbsp;Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue, LA 90034 (between National and Palms).&nbsp;
Parking: Metered street parking. Plus, there are also two FREE parking structures just two blocks away. The first structure is at the northeast corner of Motor and Palm.
