The nature of a concert varies by [[musical genre]], individual performers, and the venue.  Concerts by a small [[jazz]] combo or small [[Bluegrass music|bluegrass]] band may have the same order of program, mood, and volume—but vary in music and dress. In a similar way, a particular musician, band, or genre of music might attract concert attendees with similar dress, hairstyle, and behavior. For example, concert goers in the 1960s often had long hair (sometimes in dread lock form), sandals and inexpensive clothing made of natural fibers. Regular attendees to a concert venue might also have a recognizable style that comprises that venue's scene.

===Recital===
A recital is a [[solo concerto]], i.e. a concert by a soloist or small group which follows a [[concert program|program]].  It can highlight a single performer, sometimes accompanied by [[piano]], or a performance of the works of a single [[composer]], or a single instrument ([[organ recital]]). The invention of the solo piano recital has been attributed to [[Franz Liszt]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.npr.org/2011/10/22/141617637/how-franz-liszt-became-the-worlds-first-rock-star/ |title=How Franz Liszt Became The World's First Rock Star |newspaper=NPR.org |date=October 22, 2011 |access-date=17 January 2014}}</ref> Also, a recital may have many participants, as for a dance recital. A dance recital is a presentation of choreographed moves for an audience, usually in an established performing arts venue, possibly [[competition|competitively]]. Some dance recitals are seasonal.

===Theatrical===

Some performers or groups put on very elaborate and expensive shows. To create a memorable and exciting atmosphere and increase the spectacle, performers frequently include additional entertainment devices. These can include elaborate [[stage lighting]], [[Live event support#Visual support|electronic imagery]] via (IMAG) system and/or pre-recorded video, inflatable sets, artwork or other set pieces, various [[special effect]]s such as [[theatrical smoke and fog]] and [[pyrotechnics]], and unusual [[costumes]] or wardrobe. Some [[singer]]s, especially popular music, augment concert sound with pre-recorded [[accompaniment]], back-up dancers, and even broadcast vocal tracks of the singer's own voice. Activities during these concerts can include [[dancing]], sing-alongs, and [[moshing]].

=== Classical ===

Classical concerts embody two different styles of classical music — orchestral and choral. They are performed by a plethora of different groups in [[List of concert halls|concert halls]] or other performing art venues. For [[orchestra]], depending on the number of performers and the instruments used, concerts include [[chamber music]], chamber orchestra, or symphony orchestra. Chamber orchestra is a small-scale orchestra containing between ten and forty members, mostly string instruments, and likely led by a conductor. Symphony orchestra, on the other hand, is a large-scale orchestra that can have up to eighty or more members, which is led by a conductor and is performed with instruments such as [[Violin|strings]], [[Woodwind instrument|woodwinds]], [[brass instrument]]s, and [[Percussion instrument|percussion]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/art/orchestra-music|title=Orchestra|last=Gaur|first=Aakanksha|date=2015-04-28|website=Interlude.hk|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-21}}</ref> For choral style pieces, concerts include [[Choir|Choral music]], [[Opera]], and [[Musical theatre|musical theater]]. Each encompassing a variety of singers who are organized by a conductor or director.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.naxos.com/education/enjoy1_kinds.asp|title=Kinds of Concerts: How To Enjoy A Live Concert|website=naxos.com|access-date=2019-03-20}}</ref>

===Rock===
{{Main|Rock concert}}
Rock concerts are those where [[rock music]]ians perform in front of audiences which may vary from small to huge [[stadium]] concerts. [[Mosh pit]]s are often a feature of modern rock concerts. [[Rock concert]]s are often conducted at extremely high volume levels, near the threshold of [[noise-induced hearing loss|hearing loss]].
