Joan Baez was a singer and civil rights activist at the Selma to Montgomery marches as well as at the March on Washington in 1963, where Martin Luther King gave his famous speech I Have a Dream held. Already a celebrity in her own right, she brought the not-so-well-known Bob Dylan onto the stage in the early 1960s, with whom she, also in a private relationship, was celebrated as the “Queen and King of Folk Music” for a short but iconic time . A steadfast pacifist, Baez campaigned once morest the Vietnam War and later railed once morest Donald Trump. With her clear-as-a-bell soprano, she was brought onto the stage by the “Godmother of Punk” Patti Smith, but also by pop superstar Taylor Swift. In 2018 and 2019, Baez said goodbye to the stage with a final tour, which also took her to Vienna.
