Club Passim - See Schedule OClub PassimClub Passim put on 366 concerts during fiscal year 2025, conducted in the club and via livestream. In a typical year, in addition to our regular concerts, we hold a variety of special concerts, including our annual Celtic Music Festival. We help develop emerging artists by offering them the opportunity to perform to smaller audiences and opening for better-known musicians. A major vehicle for this is through our weekly open-mic, which we reinstituted in June 2014. At open mic, any musician is welcome to play several songs on our stage. We also typically hold 2 weekend-music festivals ("Campfire Festivals") on the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends that provide an opportunity for lesser-known artists to play. Our audience typically ranges in age from 25-65 and comes mainly from metropolitan Boston.

Education - See Schedule OEducationEducation - Passim School of MusicFrom July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, the Passim School of Music served 746 students through 144 classes, voice lessons, and workshops. The intimate, inclusive environment is specially designed to foster a sense of community across students and instructors. Master classes and workshops give students an opportunity to work closely with their favorite artists and to learn specific techniques from the masters. The School is for adults and does not award degrees or certificates.Education - Iguana Music FundThe Fund, originated in 2009, gives grants to New England-based artists to help develop their careers or assist their community-service efforts. In general, between 250-300 musicians apply and between 20 and 30 receive grants. Passim holds an annual spring celebration of these artists at its Club, where grant recipients perform. Those unable to be present usually send videos that are played to the audience. Artists are generally in their 20s or 30s and while many come from or have roots in the Boston area, they all have a strong New England connection. Two grantees were Grammy nominees in prior years.
