Join us for a special evening celebrating the life and legacy of Jeff Whiteley, founder of Excellence in the Community and a visionary who changed Utah’s musical landscape.

Jeff believed that music has the power to connect, uplift, and transform communities. Through his dedication, more than 1,400 free concerts have brought Utah’s finest musicians to professional stages, building bridges between artists and audiences across the state.

This Celebration of Life Concert brings together the musicians, friends, and community members who were touched by Jeff’s generosity, leadership, and spirit. The evening will feature live performances, shared memories, and a heartfelt tribute to a man whose work continues to resonate through every note played.
