Tracy’s wide-ranging concert repertoire includes Opera, Art Songs, Lieder, and 20th Century, as well as Broadway favourites and arrangements of African-American Spirituals. Tracy creates well-crafted concerts choosing repertoire specifically geared to each audience, featuring Fauré, Bellini, Brahms, Schubert, Verdi, Puccini, de Falla, Valls, Villa Lobos, and Gershwin, and female composers such as Beatrice de Dia, Isabella Leonarda, Barbara Strozzi, Hildegard von Bingen, and Canadian composer, Jean Coulthard.

In 2008, Tracy and ACT Development, an organization that works with people at risk in Tunisia, began a livelihood project to assist single mothers and disadvantaged women. Through donations and monthly sponsorships, this non-profit organization helps unwed mothers and marginalized women receive training and funds to set up small home-based businesses. Tracy’s A Song for Hope/Chansons L’Espoir tours raise funds and awareness for the livelihood project through concerts, masterclasses, and radio and media interviews.
