concert
Audience hears musicians
A concert is a live musical performance, typically by one or more musicians or groups playing for an audience.
Concerts range from intimate acoustic sets to massive stadium events, and the word applies across genres from classical to rock to hip-hop.
We got tickets to the concert downtown.
The phrase in concert means working together in coordination: The agencies acted in concert to address the crisis.
