Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'musical' (related to music) with 'performance' (a staged presentation), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to presenting music before an audience. This adjective+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern and therefore easily comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Musical performance comes from the two simple words musical (about music) and performance (a public show). Imagine musicians on a stage playing for people — that live show is a musical performance, so the phrase means 'the act of presenting music before an audience'.
