Dr. Tracy Wong is a Malaysian-Canadian choral conductor, music educator, composer, vocalist, and pianist. She is passionate about helping choral leaders and educators to provide unique experiences for their singers and students through collaborative commissions, customized workshops, festivals, and artist residencies. She does this through focusing on the balance of performance practice considerations, vocal and acoustic explorations, and choral artistry and heart.

Currently residing in Ontario, Canada, Dr. Wong has been appointed to the Eileen Mercier Professorship in Choral Music at Wilfrid Laurier University’s Faculty of Music where she is an assistant professor, leads choral ensembles (Laurier Singers and Concert Choir) and mentors choral conducting students. She holds a Doctor in Musical Arts and Master in Music Performance (Choral Conducting) from the University of Toronto under the tutelage of Dr. Hilary Apfelstadt, and a Bachelor of Music (Piano Performance) from the University of Newcastle, Australia. She is a two-time recipient of the 2016 & 2017 Elmer Iseler National Graduate Fellowship in Choral Conducting, a nominee of the Leslie Bell Prize for Choral Conducting, and holds teaching awards from McMaster University (2018-19 McMaster University Student Union Teaching Award) and Western University (2024-25 Vice-Provost (Academic Programs) Award for Excellence in Collaborative Teaching).

As a composer-arranger, she advocates for repertoire-based music education, and her choral works support the development of vocal technique, musicianship skills, and artistry. Her music reflects the blend of different lived experiences, languages, and musical elements that continue to influence her compositional writing.

Dr. Wong continues to actively collaborate with choral organizations in North America and internationally on conducting events, competition adjudications, workshops/clinics, commissioned projects, and residences. Her choral works are widely published and performed internationally.
