a concert
Examples
I get more anxious than nervous before a concert.
It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
I was going to be a concert pianist, and when I was in high school, my parents were scared to death that I would focus too much on that too soon. And that I'd end up in some sort of dead end, and not fulfilling whatever potential they thought I had.
I had a number of very strong personalities in my family. My father was a concert flutist, the solo flute for Toscanini.
I once painted a concert singer and on the chestnut frame I carved the opening bars of Mendelssohn's "Rest in the Lord." It was ornamental unobtrusive and to musicians I think it emphasized the expression of the face and pose of the figure.
My parents told me I would become a doctor and then in my spare time I would become a concert pianist. So, both my day job and my spare time were sort of taken care of.
