Join us for a heartfelt evening as we stand with our neighbors recovering from the devastating fires. Some Palisades Symphony members lost their homes, making this free Fire Recovery Benefit Concert all the more meaningful. Alexander Wasserman has donated his performance for this cause and will be playing on a grand piano generously provided by Kawai.
This is a fundraiser concert. Donations will help musicians, singers, and organizations affected by the fire as we aim to bring hope and healing through music. We invite you to come to this special benefit concert at this challenging time to support the victims of the fire. You can donate by making use of this QR code:

Driving directions:
From the 405 freeway, exit at Wilshire and go east for about
1.5 miles. At the corner of Warner Ave., you will see the
church and its steeple on the left. Go just past the church
and turn left into the driveway that says "Church parking" --
it is also the driveway for the Belmont Village retirement
home, which shares its parking facility with the church. Go to
the end of the driveway and turn right into the garage.
Coming west on Wilshire from Beverly Hills, go past Beverly
Glen Blvd., then Holmby Ave., and look for the parking
entrance on the right just before Warner Ave. It is labeled
for both the Church and for the Belmont Village retirement
home, who share the facility. Turn right into the driveway,
then go to the end of the driveway and turn right into the
garage.
Parking directions:
The parking is provided by the Methodist Church and is free. Go into the parking entrance at 10497 Wilshire. Go up the driveway, turn right, and head down into the garage. The church's parking spaces are on levels P2, P3, and P4. Please use the elevator in the far southwest corner of the structure to access the church; the other elevator is specifically for Belmont residents only
When you depart, the metal gate will automatically open as your car approaches.
Our main concert venue, Palisades
Lutheran Church, miraculously survived the fire that
surrounded it. It is being used for relief efforts and may
need some repair, so we anticipate performing in alternative
venues for some time. The church is being aided in its
recovery efforts by Lutheran service agencies.
