About

Tricia Borthwick brings a unique trans-Atlantic flair to her performances as a Belfast-based harpist. For over two decades, her elegant music has been the signature of unforgettable moments—from the poignant stillness of a wedding ceremony to the refined backdrop of a corporate gala.

Her professional journey is a tapestry of rich musical heritage and dedicated artistry. Originally from the American Southwest, Tricia began her lifelong connection with music at the piano at age five, soon discovering her true calling with the harp. Her formative training came under esteemed mentors, including the late Dr. Carrol McLaughlin at the University of Arizona, with whom she later toured with internationally as a member of the renowned HarpFusion ensemble. This foundational experience instilled a deep appreciation for the harp's power to connect cultures and create shared emotional experiences.

Tricia's passion for performance blossomed early. As an adolescent in Northeastern Kansas, she provided the elegant ambiance for afternoon teas and dinners at a local bed and breakfast—her first step into the world of professional event music. This led to an invitation to perform with the Baker University String Orchestra, marking the beginning of a career that has since graced hundreds of weddings, corporate events, and special services across the Atlantic.

Her versatile repertoire is a direct reflection of her journey. She expertly moves from the soulful melodies of Traditional Celtic and American folk music to the intricate beauty of classical pieces and on to beloved modern pop and film/video game scores. This diverse range allows her to be not just a performer but a collaborator who tailors the perfect soundtrack for each unique occasion.

Having taken a brief hiatus, Tricia returns to the professional music community with renewed inspiration and excitement, offering her distinctive blend of trans-Atlantic artistry to Belfast and beyond. She combines a consummate professional's reliability with a warm, attentive spirit, ensuring every client feels heard and every event is touched by unforgettable music.
