Morphology
The meaning 'a concert that takes place outdoors' is directly and compositionally derived from 'outdoor' (outside) + 'concert' (public musical performance). This straightforward adjective+noun combination is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Outdoor concert paints a simple picture: a concert that is outdoor, for example in a park or on a town square with no roof above. So it means 'a concert held outside' rather than inside a building.
