The essence of the concept of the "individual performance style of an artist in concert-stage activity" is analyzed from both genetic and developmental perspectives. It is established that this phenomenon reflects a mature and original manner of the artist’s creative activity, manifested in the expression of distinctive features such as sound-expressive and technical means of musical interpretation, as well as performance reliability, cultural refinement, and artistic expression. The formation of an artist’s individual performance style in concert-stage activity is influenced by various stylistic factors, including compositional, ethnic-national, epochal, historical, spatialtemporal, and supra-spatial-temporal elements. Each artist’s individual performance style in concert-stage activity is shown to be original and uniquely distinctive. The study argues for the feasibility of theoretical modeling only at the macrostructural level of this phenomenon, where artistic-creative, technical-performance, intellectual-emotional, and artistic-communicative components are essential. The determinants underlying the formation of an artist’s individual performance style are identified and systematized. The methodology for studying this phenomenon is presented through an integrated framework that encompasses both psychological and strictly performative factors. Psychological determinants include those ensuring the coherence and efficiency of cognitive processes — such as attention, memory, imagination, mental representation, and thinking — as well as the formation and regulation of emotional-volitional states, including emotion and will. Performative determinants, in turn, include elements intrinsic to artistic execution: technical proficiency, performance reliability, cultural refinement, and expressive artistry. It is demonstrated that the determinants of individual performance style in concert-stage activity are characterized by functional interdependence, which is dynamic rather than static. The study substantiates the conditions under which “creative synergy” emerges from the interaction of intersecting features of various determinants. This synergy enables artists to supplement and enrich their established stylistic traits with new expressive qualities.
