Paralellism is about using multiple cores to speed up a certain operation. Cuncurrency is about doing many things at once.
Multi-core concurrency means that your concurrent operations can happen at the same time and thus corrupt shared state.

From what I understand, in the broadest possible strokes, "concurrency" means "it doesn't matter in what order the sequence of operations happens and how their execution is reshuffled as long as the dependency invariants are maintained".
