Reno Modern Brass

Founded in 2018, Reno Modern Brass is a locally focused brass chamber ensemble devoted to the performance and creation of music of living composers. The core members of the group are:

  • Jef Derderian, trumpet
  • Tony Cataldo, trumpet
  • Kevin Miescke, French horn
  • Paul Fleming, trombone
  • Gary Mayne, bass trombone
  • Tyler Cravines, drums

The KNCJ Biggest Little Concert Series, presented quarterly, features a combination of music performed by some of the Truckee Meadows’ finest musicians, and casual conversation both musical and personal. Inspired by the legendary, long-running public radio program Saint Paul Sunday, the Biggest Little Concert Series will be a showcase for local musicians.

The conversation for the KNCJ Biggest Little Concert Series will be moderated by Chris Morrison, producer for KNCJ Public Radio.

All proceeds from these concerts will benefit KNCJ Nevada Classical and Jazz. Support for these concerts has been provided by David Fenimore, former announcer at KUNR Public Radio and retired professor of English at the University of Nevada, Reno.
