If there are any inspired musical performances in the concert, the audience will be treated to a good show. But there will not be a good show unless there are sophisticated listeners in the audience, and to be a sophisticated listener one must understand one’s musical roots.

Summary

The stimulus can be diagrammed as follows:

Notable Valid Inferences

If the audience members don’t understand their musical roots, there won’t be a good show and there won’t be any inspired musical performances.
If there aren’t sophisticated listeners in the audience, there won’t be any inspired musical performances.

If there are no sophisticated listeners in the audience, then there will be no inspired musical performances in the concert.

This must be true. If there are no sophisticated listeners, there won’t be a good show, which implies there are no inspired musical performances in the concert.

No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience if the audience will not be treated to a good show.

This could be false. If the audience is not treated to a good show, all we know is that there won’t be inspired musical performances. There are no other implications we can take from the audience not being treated to a good show.

If there will be people in the audience who understand their musical roots, then at least one musical performance in the concert will be inspired.

This could be false. People understanding their musical roots is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one. Affirming a necessary condition doesn’t tell us anything.

The audience will be treated to a good show unless there are people in the audience who do not understand their musical roots.

This must be false. There being people in the audience who understand their musical roots does not guarantee a good show. A good show is only guaranteed by inspired musical performances.

If there are sophisticated listeners in the audience, then there will be inspired musical performances in the concert.

This could be false. There are no conditions that guarantee (i.e., are sufficient for) inspired musical performances. Sophisticated listeners are a necessary, not sufficient, condition for inspired musical performances.
