Summer Concert Series Brings Community Together
● By Collette Hayes - The City Journal
Music is a powerful asset for building communities and for enhancing quality of life. The Summer Concert Series presented by the Holladay Arts Council and Holladay Bank & Trust brought the community together for two months of summer evening entertainment and fun for the entire family.
Jeff Whiteley, founder and managing director of the non profit organization Excellence in the Community, has partnered with Holladay city for the last seven years to produce nice Saturday evening concerts held at Holladay City Hall Park.
“The purpose of Excellence in the Community is to create more and better performance opportunities for Utah's best musicians,” Whiteley said. “All of our concerts are offered to the public at no charge. We are in contact with some of the top performers in Utah including members of the Utah Symphony. All praise to the mayor of Holladay, the Holladay Arts Council and the Holladay City Council. They are all a delight to work with.”

MUSE - Inspired by Utah
Sometimes, it takes setting out on creative journeys with writers, artists, historians and bookmobile drivers to be reinspired by the place where we live. In this issue of MUSE, we seized the opportunity to tell stories about the journeys of the people who live and create throughout the state. This is just the first chapter of our storytelling look at Utah’s creative communities, a chance to remind ourselves why culture matters.
