sfSoundSeries is a concert series in the San Francisco
Bay Area featuring contemporary and experimental music. Our programs reach from the
latest music of the European Avant-Garde to the grittiest sounds of
the West Coast Improv-Underground, encompassing recent trends in
instrumental technique, conceptual art, music theater, and electronic sound. sfSound was a 2008 recipient of an ASCAP/CMA Award for Adventurous Programming.
