The founding members of Ensemble Divitia Cologne were a group of young musicians who shared a passion for early music. They were inspired by the historical performance movement, which seeks to recreate the sound and style of music from past eras using period instruments and techniques. The ensemble's main members include violinist and artistic director, Johannes Pramsohler, cellist, Gulrim Choi, and harpsichordist, Philippe Grisvard. They are joined by a rotating cast of musicians who specialize in early music performance.

Ensemble Divitia Cologne has also been recognized for their outstanding performances with several awards and honors. In 2014, they were awarded the prestigious Echo Klassik award for their recording of Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord. The award is one of the most prestigious in the classical music world and is given to the best recordings of the year. In addition to their performances and recordings, Ensemble Divitia Cologne is also committed to education and outreach.
