In a concerto, who performs the melody?

Explanation:
A concerto is built around a solo instrument set against an orchestra, with the soloist carrying the main melodic line. The soloist shapes and extends the tune, while the orchestra provides the harmony, rhythm, and texture that support and respond to the soloist. The choir isn’t part of a standard concerto, and the idea that the melody is shared equally doesn’t fit the typical role of the soloist in this form. So the melody is performed by the soloist.
