concert
An outdated or deliberately chosen, refined-looking spelling of Konzert; a public musical performance.
Das Plakat kündigte ein 'Großes Festliches Concert' im Kursaal an.
The poster announced a 'Grand Festive Concert' in the Kursaal.
The spelling 'Concert' is a deliberate stylistic choice. It makes an event seem more historical, refined, or exclusive than the modern spelling 'Konzert' (concert).
Das Schloss wirbt mit einem 'Exklusiven Kammer-Concert' bei Kerzenschein.
The palace advertises an 'Exclusive Chamber Concert' by candlelight.
This spelling is found almost only with classical music, often in historical venues such as palaces, old halls, or churches. It is not used for pop or rock music.
Das 'Weihnachts-Concert' in der alten Kirche ist jedes Jahr ausverkauft.
The 'Christmas Concert' in the old church is sold out every year.
While the noun 'das Concert' is used, related words usually remain in the modern form. For example, people say and write 'Konzertsaal' (concert hall) or 'konzertieren' (to perform in concert), not 'Concertsaal'.
Das Concert findet im großen Konzertsaal der Philharmonie statt.
The concert takes place in the Philharmonie's large concert hall.
