Morphology
The meaning 'a band that performs concerts' is directly and compositionally derived from 'concert' (a public musical performance) + 'band' (an ensemble of musicians). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun-noun combination, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The compound noun concert band comes from the image of a band playing in a concert, with musicians sitting on a stage with flutes, trumpets, trombones, clarinets and drums rather than marching. So it means 'a large group of brass, woodwind and percussion players who perform concert music'.
