They are similar in some cases, but not always.
Concise usually refers to something written or spoken. For example, a concise set of instructions, or a concise memo.
Brief could be used here as well, but can also refer to time. A brief pause at the end of a sentence. A brief stop at the park.
Also, concise also seems to imply intention and precision. A brief letter is short. But a concise letter was made short on purpose, and with care.
