Morphology

preconcert = concert (transparent) = pre + concert

Adding 'pre-' to the verb 'concert' gives the expected meaning 'arrange beforehand'.

Etymology

Preconcert combines pre- 'before' and concert 'coming together'. Think of the phrase 'in concert' meaning 'together', so preconcert means to plan or agree on something in advance with other people.
