Joni Mitchell has made a rare public appearance at a concert in Los Angeles, over a year after suffering an aneurysm.

In a photo on Mitchell's official website, the reclusive Canadian folk legend is seen at Saturday's Chick Corea concert at the Catalina Bar and Grill in Los Angeles.

She's seated at a table with Corea as well as Gayle Moran Corea and Herbie Hancock, who is clasping Mitchell's hand.

Mitchell looks elegant in a wide-brimmed black hat, black dress and shawl.

"We are thrilled to see Joni out and about again!" says the website posting, which was accompanied by another post and image shared on Facebook.

Mitchell, 72, was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital in March 2015 for what was later revealed to be an aneurysm.
