Surface Forms

Morphology

in + concert + with

The overall sense 'acting together; in agreement' is partly built from the constituents: 'in' + 'concert' (coordination) + 'with' (together), so there is a clear compositional logic. However, 'concert' here is metaphorical (extended from a musical event to coordinated action) and is somewhat formal, and many B1 learners may only know 'concert' as a music event, so the precise idiomatic use may not be fully predictable without exposure.

Etymology

In concert with comes from the image of musicians playing together in a concert, all playing the same music at the same time. So it means 'acting together' or 'in agreement'.
