An immersive live stream is especially interesting in the ongoing development of telepresence tools, especially in the virtual reality (VR) or mixed reality (MR) domain. This paper explores the remote and immersive way of enabling telepresence for the audience to high-fidelity music performance using freely-available and easily- accessible tools. A functional VR live-streaming toolchain, comprising 360 vision and higher-order ambisonic audio, is presented and described in detail. Two separate recordings with two different approaches are outlined. The results gathered from the audiences’ impressions are discussed. Finally, possible improvements to the immersive live streaming and recording processes were discussed.
