Songs, etc., expected at the conclusion of concerts (5)
I believe the answer is:
duets
'songs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'expected at the conclusion of concerts' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'conclusion of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'concerts' is 's'.
'due'+'t'+'s'='DUETS'
'etc' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duets that I've seen before include "Songs sung by two" , "Works for two" .)
