“A PERFECT SPOT OF TEA,” a revival of the Colonial custom of afternoon tea. Visitors are invited to linger on the Museum’s breezy back veranda while enjoying a leisurely cup of tea, delectable pastries, and talented local musicians.

David Amram and friends host a very special performance at Club Passim to honor Bob and Rae Ann Donlin who ran Club Passim for 25 years, keeping the Folk venue alive by nurturing artists and launching careers of Nancy Griffith, Ellis Paul, Shawn Colvin to name a few. Passim celebrates the impact the Donlin's had on Folk history with a very special show each summer, this year David Amram performs for the " Club Passim holiday".

A brief bio of an extraordinary life: David Amram has composed more than 100 orchestral and chamber music works, written many scores for Broadway theater and film, including the classic scores for the films "Splendor in The Grass" and "The Manchurian Candidate;" two operas, including the ground-breaking Holocaust opera "The Final Ingredient;" and the score for the landmark 1959 documentary "Pull My Daisy," narrated by novelist Jack Kerouac. He is also the author of three books, "Vibrations," an autobiography, "Offbeat: Collaborating With Kerouac," a memoir, and "Upbeat: Nine Lives of a Musical Cat" published this Fall by Paradigm Publishers.
