A musician who performs in concerts, especially a professional or accomplished performer.
From 'concert' plus the agent suffix '-izer' meaning 'one who does or performs.' Likely influenced by German 'Konzertisierung.'
Before recording studios existed, being a 'concertizer' was like being a celebrity—your reputation depended entirely on people hearing you play live in concert halls!
