A concert honoring the legacy of Brian Gallaher on Tuesday, Feb. 23, will raise funds for an endowed scholarship through the Lee University School of Music.
The Gala for Gallaher will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Conn Center on the Cleveland, Tenn., campus. It will feature the Ocoee Middle School Band, Walker Valley High School Band, Lee University Symphonic Band and Lee University Faculty Brass Quintet.
A Cleveland resident and Lee alumnus, Gallaher died June 25, 2015, after a tractor-trailer crashed into slow-moving traffic in a construction zone near Ooltewah on Interstate 75. The multivehicle wreck killed six and injured 12 others.
Organizers of the concert say Gallaher devoted his life to mentoring young people through music education at Ocoee Middle School.
