Tracy Wong Series

The Tracy Wong Series focuses on two goals:

Music With A Purpose: Explore exciting choral pieces that celebrate various communities and unique collaborations. Additional resources are available directly from the composer / arranger (e.g. rehearsal tracks, workshops, etc.): www.tracywongmusic.com or info@tracywongmusic.com

Purchasing With A Purpose: A portion of income from Tracy’s music and workshops goes towards providing professional development for Malaysian choral educators, or financial support for a Malaysian choral organization. Find out more about it here.

Dr. Tracy Wong hails from Malaysia and is a choral conductor, music educator, composer, vocalist, and pianist. She advocates for repertoire-based music education by writing pieces that are teaching tools for singers to develop vocal technique, musicianship skills, and artistry. As part of her continued search to define her Chinese-Malaysian-Canadian identity, Dr. Wong’s music also shows the coming-together of different languages and musical elements that continue to influence her composition writing.

Dr. Wong was the 2019 Canadian Composer Feature for the Canadian Kodály Journal, Alla Breve. She collaborates regularly with choral organizations in Canada and Malaysia on commissioned choral projects and workshops, and her pieces are featured at numerous reading sessions. Her works have been performed by Malaysian, North American, European, and Southeast Asian choirs at international competitions and festivals.

Currently residing in Ontario, Canada, Dr. Wong is the Assistant Professor of Choral Studies at University of Western Ontario, where she conducts Chorale and Les Choristes ensembles, and conducts the Grand Philharmonic Youth Choir in Kitchener, Ontario. She holds a Doctor in Musical Arts and Master in Music Performance (Choral Conducting) degrees from the University of Toronto and is a recipient of the 2016 & 2017 Elmer Iseler National Graduate Fellowship in Choral Conducting.

Dr. Wong’s choral works are available at Graphite Publishing (US), Cypress Choral Music (Canada), and Young Choral Academy (Malaysia).
