About the Series

The KNCJ Biggest Little Concert Series features a combination of music performed by some of the Truckee Meadows's finest musicians, and casual conversation both musical and personal moderated by KNCJ producer Chris Morrison. Inspired by the legendary, long-running public radio program Saint Paul Sunday, the KNCJ Biggest Little Concert Series is a lively showcase for local musicians.

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. All proceeds from these concerts will benefit KNCJ, Nevada Classical and Jazz.
