Looks good. Instead of "son" I might use "se realizan" or "se realizarán".

I have a best idea about your post.

The concert are from May until Octuber.

Los conciertos son para Mayo y el otro hasta Octubre.

I did a bit change because your own translation does make sence for me. Either it make sence in the language Spanish. Then I believe that you would need to use the words Para and the complement of (Y el otro hasta). It so does make senser than the last sentence or phrase.

I hope you are agree with me.

Yes, your translation makes sense, but it changes the meaning.

The concerts are from May until October = Los conciertos se realizan de mayo a octubre
The concerts are in May and October = Los conciertos son para Mayo y el otro hasta Octubre

Would these work too?
The concerts are in May y October.
Los conciertos son para Mayo y Octubre.
Los conciertos son en Mayo y Octubre.

What does el otro hasta mean? the other until?

Thanks!

Is this right? Does it mean the same thing in past tense?

One reply was in Feb and the other wasn't until March.
Una respuesta era para/en Febrero y la otra hasta Marzo.
