Translation

コンサート / 演奏会 / 音楽会

Meaning

A concert is a live musical performance for an audience, given by one or more musicians. It can be classical ('a symphony concert'), pop ('a Taylor Swift concert'), or jazz ('a jazz concert at a small club'). 'Concert' also functions in the phrase 'in concert with' meaning together or in coordination: 'The two companies worked in concert to solve the problem.' Japanese learners who know 'コンサート' will find the English word very familiar, but note that 'recital' is a specific type of concert given by one performer, often in a classical or formal context.

Examples

• 彼女は昨夜のコンサートに感動した。
  She was moved by the concert last night.
• そのバンドのコンサートのチケットはすぐに完売した。
  Tickets for the band's concert sold out immediately.
