musicale
Home performance party
A musicale is a private or semi-private musical gathering, typically held in a home or small venue rather than a concert hall.
The term has an old-fashioned flavor, evoking parlor entertainment of the 19th and early 20th centuries: The hostess arranged a musicale featuring a string quartet.
It suggests an intimate, social occasion where music is performed for invited guests.
