Tribute concert for Jeff Whitley

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.

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.
