Morphology
The meaning 'a group or institution of musicians' is directly and compositionally derivable from combining 'musical' (relating to music) with 'organization' (a collective or institution), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This adjective+noun pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, supporting immediate comprehensibility.
Etymology
Musical organization comes from the simple idea of a musical group that is planned and run like a team. Imagine musicians who meet, practice and play together under one plan or leader, and you can see why it means 'a group or institution of musicians who perform together'.
