'Vorgetragen' (presented/recited) is the past participle of the verb 'vortragen' (to present/recite). Here it is used like an adjective to describe a noun and must be declined accordingly.
Der vorgetragene Plan überzeugte alle Anwesenden.
The presented plan convinced everyone present.
The underlying verb 'vortragen' literally means 'to carry before someone.' From this developed the figurative meaning 'to present something orally.'
Der Sänger hat das Lied wunderschön vorgetragen.
The singer performed the song beautifully.
The adjective 'vorgetragen' (presented/recited) is almost always combined with nouns that describe an oral presentation. Typical examples are: ein vorgetragenes Gedicht (a recited poem), ein vorgetragenes Referat (a presented report/presentation), ein vorgetragenes Anliegen (a concern that has been presented).
Das Publikum war von dem vorgetragenen Lied tief berührt.

'aufgeführt' and 'vorgetragen' can both fit a performance or presentation in front of other people. 'aufgeführt' is used more for a play, a concert, or a full artistic performance on a stage. 'vorgetragen' emphasizes that something is presented orally or spoken, for example a poem, a presentation, or a concern. The words can be confused with songs, poems, or small program items. As a simple guide: a group performs a play, while a person recites a text or gives a presentation.
