2016 SASSAS YEAR IN REVIEW
We invite you to have a look back over SASSAS’s year in review. 2016 was rich with the cutting-edge sound programming you’ve come to expect from us — and most of it presented free of charge. We have some big plans in the works for 2017 too, broadening the reach of experimental sound programs across greater Los Angeles and beyond.
