Concertgoer

/ˈkɒnsərtˌɡoʊər/ noun

Definition

A person who regularly attends musical concerts or performances.

Etymology

Compound word formed from 'concert' (a musical performance) and 'goer' (one who goes). Both components have clear English roots, with 'concert' ultimately from Latin 'concertare.'

Kelly Says

Concertgoers became a recognizable social class in the 19th century when concert halls became fashionable—before that, most people experienced music in churches or at home. Now there are actually studies on concertgoers' behavior and preferences!
