How to use 音乐会

音乐会 is the everyday word for a concert, from a school recital to a big symphony performance. It often goes with verbs like 听 (tīng, to listen) or 去 (qù, to go). 周末我们去听音乐会吧。(Zhōumò wǒmen qù tīng yīnyuèhuì ba.) Let's go to a concert this weekend.

Break it into two parts you may already know: 音乐 (yīnyuè) means music and 会 (huì) means a gathering or meeting, as in 开会 (kāihuì). A music gathering is a concert.

Common mistake: Learners often read 乐 here as lè, the reading in 快乐 (kuàilè). In 音乐 and 音乐会 it is always yuè, so the word is yīnyuèhuì, not yīnlèhuì.
