She completed her church music studies at the Archdiocese of Bamberg and studied harpsichord in the class of Christine Schornsheim.

Since 2011, she is a concertmaster of the ensemble Concerto Köln, where she cooperates with numerous prominent conductors and soloists like Peter Dijkstra, Andrea Marcon, Pablo Heras-Casado, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Giuliano Carmignola, Dorothee Oberlinger, Midori Seiler, Simone Kermes, Vivica Genaux and Valer Sabadus. She is also a permanent guest of various baroque orchestras and ensembles like Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Dresdner Festspielorchester (artistic leadership: Ivor Bolton), Zürcher Kammerorchester, Kammerorchester Basel, Bach-Collegium Stuttgart, The King´s Consort, Neue Düsseldorfer Hofmusik, Collegium Cartusianum, La Divina Armonia, Il Suonar Parlante and Il Gardellino. She performed throughout Europe, United States and Japan. Her partners in chamber music playing are musicians like Christine Schornsheim, Francis Jacob, Maurice Steger, Naoki Kitaya, Lorenzo and Vittorio Ghielmi. She recorded numerous CDs. From winter 2009, she teaches baroque violin and viola at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, and from autumn 2017, she took over a professorship for baroque violin and viola at Mozarteum in Salzburg.
Vittorio Ghielmi studied viola da gamba with Roberto Gini at Accademia Internazionale della Musica in Milano, with Wieland Kuijeken at Conservatoire Royale in Brussel and with Christophe Coin in Paris. Cooperation with instrument builder Luc Breton and with numerous musicians of non-European traditions (India, Afghanistan, Africa, and Latin America) as well as exploring old music traditions that survived in forbidden parts of the world opened him new perspectives in the interpretation of European early music and significantly marked his music career. He performed, as a soloist and a conductor, with the most world famous orchestras like Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, London Philharmonia, Wiener-Concertverein, Il Giardino Armonico, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra etc. He performed recital duos with his brother Lorenzo and with Luca Pianca in the most prestigious concert halls like Musikverein in Viena, Berliner Philharmoniker Hall, and Casals Hall in Tokyo etc. As a soloist or chamber musician, he shared a stage with Gustavo Leonhardt (duo), Cecilia Bartoli, Andràs Schiff, Thomas Quasthoff, Mario Brunello, Enrico Onofri, Viktoria Mullova, Gracielo Gibelli, Giuliano Carmignolo, Christophe Coin, Reinhard Goebel, Giovanni Antonini, Ottavio Dantone etc. He is one of a few viola da gamba players, who regularly performs with the orchestra. He often plays world premieres of contemporary compositions, many of whom are devoted to him. From 2007 to 2011, he was the assistant of Riccardo Muti at the Salzburg Festival. With his ensemble, Il Suonar Parlante, he explores early music repertoire in a new way, creating new music realities. With that ensemble, he performed with a number of prominent jazz musicians like Kenny Wheeler, Uri Caine, Jim Black, Don Byron, Markus Stockhausen, Nguyen Lê and Achille Succi, jazz and blues singers like Cristine Zavalloni and Barbare Walker, and flamenco stars like Carmen Linares.
