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.

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;

The Village | Village Studios

October 24 &amp; 25, 2026 | Begins at 1:00 PM 
The Village Studios | Los Angeles
Join <a href="https://hvsconservatory.com/instructor/ron-harris/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ron Harris</a> for a two-day immersive Performance Camp designed to help singers and artists strengthen their stage presence, build confidence, connect more deeply with their music, and learn how to command a stage with authenticity.
Over two days at The Village Studios, artists will work on the skills that transform singing a song into truly performing it. The experience culminates on October 25, when participants will have the opportunity to put their work into practice performing with a full live band.
From Singer to Performer
Knowing how to sing a song and knowing how to perform a song are two different skills.
Performance requires much more than hitting the right notes. It involves understanding the story you’re telling, communicating with an audience, using the stage intentionally, working with musicians, recovering when something unexpected happens, and remaining connected to the music while everything around you is moving.
These are skills artists develop through experience.
This Performance Camp gives you that experience.
Rather than simply discussing performance technique, artists will have the opportunity to work on their own material, receive professional feedback, make adjustments, and immediately apply what they’re learning.
What you’ll work on 
Throughout the weekend, Ron will work with artists on the elements that create a compelling and authentic live performance, including:
<ul>
 <li>Stage Presence — Learn how to command the stage without forcing a performance or becoming disconnected from who you are as an artist.</li>
 <li>Song Interpretation — Go beyond singing the notes and discover how intention, dynamics, phrasing, and emotional connection shape a performance.</li>
 <li>Audience Connection — Develop the confidence to communicate with an audience and create moments that feel genuine rather than rehearsed.</li>
 <li>Movement &amp; Body Language — Explore how physicality, movement, and stillness can support the story you’re telling.</li>
 <li>Performance Confidence — Learn how to stay present, work through nerves, and trust your preparation when it’s time to perform.</li>
 <li>Working with a Live Band — Develop the communication, awareness, and adaptability required when performing with professional musicians.</li>
 <li>Developing Your Individual Performance Style — Discover what makes you
 compelling onstage rather than trying to imitate another artist.</li>
</ul>
Day One: Build the Performance
Saturday, October 24 | 1:00 PM
Day One is about developing the artist behind the performance.
Participants will work directly with Ron on their songs while exploring stage presence, interpretation, movement, confidence, audience connection, and the choices that can take a performance from technically strong to memorable.
Artists will receive individualized feedback and have the opportunity to make adjustments in real time.
The goal isn’t to create a “perfect” performance. It’s to help each artist discover how to communicate more confidently and authentically onstage.
Day Two: Perform with a Full Live Band
Sunday, October 25 | 1:00 PM
On Day Two, the experience moves to another level.
Artists will take what they developed during the first day and put it into practice with a full live band at The Village Studios.
Performing with musicians requires an entirely different level of awareness than singing with a backing track. Artists need to listen, communicate, lead, adapt, and remain connected to their performance while responding to what’s happening musically around them.
Participants will experience what it’s like to step into a professional performance environment and learn how to confidently work with a band—an invaluable skill for any developing recording or performing artist.
Meet Ron Harris
Ron Harris brings decades of music-industry experience to HVS Conservatory as a producer, former A&amp;R executive, and artist-development mentor.
His perspective extends beyond simply evaluating whether an artist can sing. Ron works with performers to understand how they communicate their identity, connect with an audience, interpret their material, and develop the confidence and presence expected of artists in professional environments.
Who Should Attend?
Performance Camp is designed for singers, singer-songwriters, recording artists, and developing performers who want to become stronger and more confident onstage.
You don’t need to be an experienced live performer to participate. The camp is designed to meet artists where they are while challenging them to take the next step in their development.
It is especially valuable for artists preparing for showcases, concerts, auditions, industry performances, touring, or the transition from recording music to performing it live.
