Musical performance is the act of presenting music to an audience, typically involving musicians playing instruments or singing. This can take place in various settings, such as concert halls, theaters, or outdoor festivals. Performances can range from solo acts to large ensembles, like orchestras or bands, and may include different genres, such as classical, jazz, or rock. During a musical performance, artists interpret and express the music, often adding their unique style. The audience experiences the performance live, which can create a shared emotional connection. Notable examples of musical performance include live concerts, recitals, and musical theater.
