Tiutiunnik's compositions have been published in Australia, Italy and the United States and are held in several international libraries, including the Bodleian Library at Oxford University (which also holds a copy of her doctoral thesis, The Symbolic Dimension: An Exploration of the Compositional Process),[13]Harvard College Library,[14] the National Library of Australia and the Wiener Music Library at Columbia University.[15] On 11 December 2009, a revised version of Tiutiunnik's doctoral dissertation was published as a book and released internationally.[16][17] Tiutiunnik's published dissertation received an extensive, scholarly review by Australian musicologist, Dr. Sally Macarthur, in the prestigious, peer reviewed journal, Musicology Australia, in July 2011.[18]
The symbolic dimensions of a number of Tiutiunnik's compositions have been associated with the motif of the journey through darkness to illumination.[19] Also, several of Tiutiunnik's works have been inspired by Islamic mysticism and related traditions—the musical symbols therein often manifesting themselves in the form of compositional processes emanating from her interpretations of Near Eastern traditions of numerology.[20] Other important influences on the symbolic dimensions of Tiutiunnik's compositions include the landscapes, flora and fauna of Australia;[21] historical and current events pertaining to the Middle East, in addition to the religion and mythology of Ancient Mesopotamia.[22]

On 19 March 2007 (Tiutiunnik's fortieth birthday), a concert of her solo and chamber works was held at the Dom Kompozitorov, Saint Petersburg, Russia, as part of festivities celebrating two hundred years of business relations between Australia and Russia. This third concert of Tiutiunnik's compositions in St Petersburg[31] featured eminent performers such as the Rimsky-Korsakov Quartet of Saint Petersburg and pianist Anna Sbagina. On the same day, Tiutiunnik gave a lecture/recital for the composition students of Boris Tishchenko, at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory and was also interviewed by Radio Maria, Saint Petersburg. The event was organized by Dr. Elena Kostyuchenko (who also organized her 2001 and 2006 St Petersburg concerts)[32] and its sponsors included the Embassy of Australia in Moscow, Lis Faenza of Batemans Bay (who personally funded all of Tiutiunnik's international travel for the event) and Sebastian Fitzlyon-Zinovieff, Honorary Australian Consul in Saint Petersburg.[33]
In early December 2009, the "Borealis in Australis" tour featured over ten performances of Tiutiunnik's works (including two world premieres and an Australian premiere) by Borealis Brass of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.[37][38] These performances were in Batemans Bay, at Sydney's St. Andrew's Cathedral and on the Sunshine Coast.[39][40] Highlights of this tour included a lecture/recital on the role of music in global conflict resolution—featuring Tiutiunnik's music and the music of other women composers from around the world—at the Batemans Bay campus of the University of Wollongong[41] and a workshop for highschool students from the Eurobodalla Shire.[42] Another important event in this tour was the VIP reception featuring live Koori music (supervised by local Koori elder, Loretta Parsley), the world premiere of Tiutiunnik's trumpet duoL'Imperatore Amato (dedicated to International House of New York) and speeches by various dignitaries, in Catalina, New South Wales. Two of Tiutiunnik's compositions, featured in the "Borealis in Australis" tour, received repeat performances at the University of Alaska Fairbanks New Music Festival, on 5 February 2010.[43]
In April 2010 Tiutiunnik guest lectured and attended an Australian premiere of her music at the University of Melbourne.[44]
Tiutiunnik's setting of the poem To the Enemy, by Eva Salzman, for soprano and percussion ensemble, received its world premier performance on 26 August 2010, at the opening, "Visionaries" concert of the Soundstream Festival, Adelaide, South Australia.[45] This world premiere was broadcast live by ABC Classic FM.[46][47]
