how do we say "to perform music" in one word?

stefo,
does german have a single word for "perform music"?  i don't think english does, i can't think of one.  "to play", "to sing", "to perform", are all unfocused, and adding the focus adds a word or two.  even if we could say "he musicked", it still doesn't mean that he performed music; it might be some other activity related to music, like conducted (an orchestra) or listened to music, or even sold music memorabilia.
