Not a North American usage:  neither USAmerican nor Canuck, that I've
ever heard.  Nor is it Australian, Kiwi, nor South African, AFAIK.  ...not
Indian, Caribbean, etc., etc.

And it just doesn't wash that "concerti" would be the plural of "concert":
"concerts" is.  Try this on for size:  "I went to two concerti last month."
Well, how very peachy for you...

Seems to me a case of a willful choice of one rule over another, despite
usage:  after all, adagioes, sopranoes and sostenutoes all look pretty
preposterous.

I'd exercise my editorial prerogative and tell him how we spell it on the
site.
