Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain concerts and their formats, relay how concerts are organised, ticketed and regulated from industry sources, describe history and new formats, and route event-specific questions to organisers.

A live musical performance before an audience, from solo recitals, debut concerts and gala concerts to orchestral, rock, pop and festival performances, in venues from concert halls and arenas to streets in the form of busking, and in new formats such as virtual concerts, interactive live streams and concert lectures combining performance with explanation; concerts are organised by promoters and venues, ticketed or free, and are a central part of the music economy and culture.

What it is for: Presenting live music to audiences.

It can be explain formats; relay organisation and ticketing; describe history and new formats; route event questions.
