Five Minute Interview: Jim Ricciuti, Passim Folk Music and Cultural Center

The club was shut down for a brief period of time and reopened in its current location in Harvard Square in 1963. It has seen many incarnations since then as Club 47, Passim, Club Passim, and Passim Folk Music & Cultural Center.

Club Passim incorporated as a nonprofit in 1995 and shortly thereafter expanded its programming to include a school of music and an outreach program titled Culture for Kids. The Archive Project has been chronicling this rich history through photographs, recording and documents. In 2005, the name changed to Passim Folk Music & Cultural Center (Passim Center) to better reflect our array of programming.
