WASHINGTON – Eight years ago, Joni Mitchell was felled by a brain aneurysm that temporarily robbed her of speech and movement.

On Wednesday, one of music’s most venerated singer-songwriters leaned inside the curve of a grand piano, her right hand clasping a gold microphone to match her jauntily angled hat, and sang.

The slow burn of George Gershwin’s “Summertime” echoed through an otherwise silent DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., as Mitchell utilized the nuances of her husky voice, sounding both sultry and languid.

Gershwin Prize for Popular Song honoree Joni Mitchell sings Gershwin's "Summertime" at DAR Constitution Hall during the Gershwin Prize Concert in her honor, March 1, 2023.
She ignored the teleprompter at the back of the venue that rolled the song’s lyrics, feeling the music and unfurling the “Porgy and Bess” classic with confidence.

Mitchell, for those who haven’t been paying attention, is back.

Her performance – which included a finale of "The Circle Game" – came toward the end of a two-hour concert to honor her as the 2023 recipient of the Library of Congress' Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Previous appointees include Lionel Richie, Garth Brooks, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Billy Joel, Tony Bennett and Carole King.
