This paper describes an architecture design process for Networked Music Performance (NMP) platform for medium-sized conducted music ensembles, based on remote rehearsals of Academic Choir of Gdańsk University of Technology. The issues of real-time remote communication, in-person music performance, and NMP are described. Three iterative steps defining and extending the architecture of the NMP platform with additional features to enhance its utility in remote rehearsals are presented. The first iteration uses a regular video conferencing platform, the second iteration uses dedicated NMP devices and tools, and the third iteration adds video transmission and utilizes professional low-latency audio and video workstations. For each iteration, the platform architecture is defined and deployed with simultaneous usability tests. Its strengths and weaknesses are identified through qualitative and quantitative measurements – statistical analysis shows a significant improvement in rehearsal quality after each iteration. The final optimal architecture is described and concluded with guidelines for creating NMP systems for said music ensembles.
