koncertovat

Koncertovat is a Czech verb meaning to give or perform live musical concerts. It is used for individuals and groups such as solo artists, bands, choirs, or orchestras, and describes the activity of presenting music to an audience. The term is commonly employed in media, artist bios, and concert announcements.

The word derives from the noun koncert (concert) and is used to express the act of staging performances. It is typical in contexts such as tours, festival appearances, and venue bookings. In contrast to simply “hrát koncerty” (play concerts), concertovat emphasizes the activity of performing as a public event and can cover a series of performances or a scheduled program.

Conjugation and usage notes: in the present tense the forms include já koncertuju or já koncertuji, ty koncertuješ, on koncertuje, my koncertujeme, vy koncertujete, oni koncertují. Imperative forms are koncertuj and koncertujte. Past tense forms include koncertoval(a/o) and koncertovali, depending on gender and number. The verb is widely understood in both formal and informal Czech and appears in press releases, artist profiles, and tour announcements.

Examples: Skupina bude koncertovat po celé Evropě. Kapela koncertuje v Brně o víkendech. Po koncertu budou následovat autogramiády a besedy. Koncertovat is thus the standard phrasing for describing live musical performances in Czech.
