Performance Opportunities at Lee University - Ensemble Groups
Music is an important part of life at Lee University. Whether a music major or just fond of music, students have the opportunity to become part of a choral, instrumental or chamber ensemble.  The Lee University music groups provide a wide range of cultural and spiritual experiences for their members.  These groups perform on and off campus, minister in churches, schools, and concert halls in the United States and abroad.  Music majors and non-music majors are welcome to audition for any and all university ensembles.

Elective Instrumental Ensembles:

Required Vocal Ensembles:

  • Choral Union
    **Music Education majors must sing in Choral Union two semesters to satisfy a vocal essential competency

Elective Vocal Ensembles:

NOTE:  Membership in these ensembles is based on an audition process and on the personnel needs of each ensemble for any given semester.  A student may state ensemble preference at the time of ensemble auditions.  This preference is given consideration but cannot always be the determining factor for placement. Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester during registration and first week of classes.
