CEFR: C1-C2 /con-cer-to/ [k.ah0.n.ch.eh1.r.t.ow0]

A concerto is a classical music composition that consists of a full orchestra but only highlights the sounds of one instrument. It is often for orchestras to have a soloist, or someone who plays a piece by themselves against the full sounds of the orchestra, but in a concerto, one instrument is highlighted or showcased throughout the entire performance.
