The Parish of St. Matthew

The Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s, under the direction of Dwayne S. Milburn, opens St. Matthew’s Music Guild’s 40th season of concerts on Friday, September 27, at 8pm in Pacific Palisades. 
The Chamber Orchestra and Music Guild began in 1985 when a group of professional musicians came together to play in the newly erected St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Pacific Palisades. Realizing that the building by famed architect Charles Moore was both visually striking and acoustically ideal for music, concerts began to attract a larger audience and soon a subscription season was offered. The Music Guild boasts more than 135 subscribing households and is recognized as one of the premiere music organizations in Los Angeles.
The season opener on September 27 begins with renowned saxophonist Jan Berry Baker performing Jacque Ibert’s sparkling Concertino da Camera and William Grant Still’s Romance for Alto Saxophone and Strings. Baker is Professor of Saxophone and Head of Woodwinds at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and performs regularly with the LA Philharmonic, Chicago and Atlanta symphonies and a variety of new music ensembles throughout the U.S. and Europe. The program also features a new Music Guild commission, “Celebration Triptych,” by Dwayne Milburn, composed for the occasion. Milburn promises a sonic spectacular that will fill every corner of St. Matthew’s stunning interior space as members of the brass and woodwind sections perform from various locations around the church. They will be joined by the church’s 2000-pipe C.B. Fisk pipe organ, also celebrating its 40th anniversary season. The program concludes with one of the most beloved symphonies in the repertoire, Felix Mendelssohn’s vivacious “Italian” Symphony.
The concert begins at 8pm and takes place at St. Matthew’s Church, 1031 Bienveneda Ave., Pacific Palisades. Tickets are $45 or Music Guild Season pass. Season passes for all eight concerts are available for as little as $285. For complete information, reserved tickets and season passes visit MusicGuildOnline.org or call (310) 573-7422.

5rd Annual
Los Angeles Real Estate Grand Expo
We are very excited to announce our 5th Annual Los Angeles Real
Estate Grand Expo. The Grand Expo returns on Saturday, October 26,
2024, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. We're taking over the entire Iman Cultural
Center for the day - it's all ours! The North Hall (vendor exhibition
area), the South Hall (workshops), and the middle parking lot (loaded with
workshop tents and food trucks). The theme of this year’s Grand Expo will be “Hedge Inflation - Buy Real Estate” 

 
Last year, the Grand Expo was the largest real estate event in Southern
California! We had over 800 investors, 64 vendors, and 12 national
speakers! This year will be even BIGGER! An entire day
celebrating real estate investing and you can be involved. Best of all, the
Grand Expo will be FREE to attend. This Expo is going to be big, really
BIG! 
 
SPEAKERS. There will be national guest speakers (in
three breakout rooms). Here is a partial list of speakers: 
 
1. Jonah Dew - "The Money Multiplier" 
 
2. Eddie Speed - "Buying Discounted notes"
3. Steve Matley - "Syndication" 
 
4. Joe Arias - "How to Get Started Investing"
5. Christopher Meza - "Developing Raw Land" 
 
6. Tony Watson - "Tax Advantages for R.E. Investors"

13. Rick Sharga (Keynote) - Real Estate Economist.
INVESTMENT EDUCATION. Just think of it! An
all-day in-depth educational extravaganza celebrating real estate investing.
Most importantly, this will NOT be a sales pitch. Each of the speakers have
contractually agreed to educate and teach us successful real estate investing
strategies. So regardless of whether you are a new investor, already own
properties, or are very experienced, our Grand Expo is for you! 
 
COMPLIMENTARY PRIVATE CONSULTATIONS. As a
special unique feature of our Grand Expo, you can sign-up for private half-hour
consultations with your favorite guest speakers. Registration will occur
Saturday morning, starting promptly at 8:00 am. First come – first serve. So
come early and schedule your private consultations. A once in a lifetime
opportunity to get free advice from national real estate experts! 
 
VENDOR EXPO: Don't miss our "Vendor Expo," which
will occur throughout the day in the North Hall. We'll have 70+ vendors where
you can "meet and greet"
real estate professionals with services and products that you'll want to
utilize in your real estate investing. (If you have a product or service that
would be valuable to real estate investors and would like to be a vendor,
please contact us directly.) 
 
DATE: Saturday, October 26, 2024, 9:00 am to
6:00 pm. 
 
LOCATION:
 Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue (between Palms and National), Los
Angeles, 90034.

two block walk to the Iman. Valet
parking ($15) will also be available. 
 
FREE ADMISSION:
Admission to our Grand Expo will be COMPLIMENTARY (free!), but reservations are
recommended.
RSVP: Make your reservations now! (Last year,
we sold out and people were turned away!) So don’t wait! RSVP at our
special website: LAGrandExpo.com.
