The UNT Chinese Ensemble is the first of its kind established at a Texas university. Directed by founding director Yuxin Mei, the ensemble plays in the traditional Jiangnan sizhu (Silk and Bamboo) style. They have played at many events on campus and throughout the DFW, including the Society for Ethnomusicology Southern Plains 2020 Conference, the Celebration of Chinese New Year at the Crow Collection of Asian Art Museum in Dallas, and the AT&T Performance Center Volunteer Award Party. They also performed at the Denver Chinese New Year Celebration at the invitation of the Denver Confucius Institute in February 2018. In 2022, they were invited by the Chinese Embassy in the United States to perform at the Chinese American Youth Spring Festival Gala. At the invitation of the School of Music and Center for Chinese Music and Culture of Middle Tennessee State University, UNT Chinese Ensemble performed a joint concert with the MTSU Chinese Ensemble at T Earl Hinton Hall.  In 2023 the Chinese Ensemble was invited by Asian American and Pacific Islander Cultural Center to perform a Chinese New Year concert in Austin.
