Joan Baez returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs on January 27, 2025, nearly 45 years after her last visit. This time, she offers an intimate talk, not a performance, delving into her personal thoughts and life experiences—the person behind the stardom.

She will discuss her new book of poems, "When You See My Mother: Ask Her to Dance." This collection, a personal diary in poetry, shares reflections from her childhood, cherished memories, and insights into contemporaries like Bob Dylan and Mimi Fariña.

Join us for a unique look into the reminiscences of this iconic artist. Joan Baez will be in conversation with music journalist Ben Fong-Torres, hosted by Robert Melton.
