Concerts by a small [[jazz]] combo or small [[Bluegrass music|bluegrass]] band may have the same order of program, mood, and volume—but vary in music and dress. In a similar way, a particular musician, band, or genre of music might attract concert attendees with similar dress, hairstyle, and behavior. For example, concert goers in the 1960s often had long hair (sometimes in dread lock form), sandals and inexpensive clothing made of natural fibers. Regular attendees to a concert venue might also have a recognizable style that comprises that venue's scene. |

Classical concerts embody two different styles of classical music, orchestra and choral. They are conducted with a plethora of different groups in concert halls or other performing art venues. For orchestra, depending on the number of performers and the instruments used, concerts include chamber music, chamber orchestra, or symphony orchestra.

Symphony orchestra is a large-scale orchestra that can have up to eighty or more members, which is led by a conductor, performed with a variety of instruments to name a few: strings, woodwinds, brass instruments, and percussion[1]. As for choral, concerts include Choral music, Opera, and musical theater. Each encompassing a variety of singers who are organized by a conductor or director.[2]
History
While the first concerts didn’t officially appear until the late 17th century, similar gatherings had been around throughout the 17th century at several European universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge. Officially, though, the first public concerts that required an admission were created by the English violinist, John Banister. Over the next few centuries, concerts began to gain larger audiences, and classical symphonies were very popular. Finally, after World War 2, these events changed into the modern concerts that takes place today. An example of an early, post-WW2 concert is the Moondog Coronation Ball.[3]
