Morphology
The meaning 'a building or room for performances' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'concert' (a public musical performance) with 'hall' (a room or building for gatherings). This noun–noun compound follows a common, compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Concert hall literally joins concert, meaning 'a public musical performance', and hall, meaning 'a large room'. People built big halls so many people could hear music and the rooms were chosen for good sound, so today a concert hall means 'a building made for musical performances'.
