Ensemble involvement at Lee University is one of the highlights of the School of Music. With a strong history of over fifty years of dynamic ensemble offerings, instrumental and vocal ensembles are open to all interested and qualified students regardless of major. Most university music ensembles require an audition, unless otherwise noted, and provide musical and ministry experiences that mold the college experience for our students. Ensemble auditions are held at the beginning of every semester.

Lee University’s Campus Choir has a rich history of music and ministry dating back to 1958. The choir has become widely known as a “traveling revival,” reflecting its strong emphasis on worship and ministry. In addition to performing at the university, Campus Choir travels extensively throughout the United States and internationally, including Central and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean.

The 105-member choir has been featured on major Christian television networks, including TBN, the Inspiration Network, and most recently, in 2026, on Daystar and SBN.

Within Campus Choir is Power Unlimited, a traveling worship ensemble of vocalists and instrumentalists that extends the ministry of Campus Choir in churches, conferences, Winterfests, and other venues.
