Bettina Hoffmann (born 1959)[1] is a German viola da gambist and cellist, musicologist, and music pedagogue.

She received her diploma in cello under Daniel Grosgurin [de] at the Mannheim Musikhochschule and then trained in the viola da gamba under Wieland Kuijken.

When Sardelli established an additional 25-piece Baroque orchestra in 1987, Hoffman took over the directorship of the smaller Medieval and Renaissance ensemble.

In 1992 they made the first complete recording of the madrigals and ballate of the 14th-century composer Gherardello da Firenze for the Nuova Era label.

[4][6] As a musicologist, Hoffmann has contributed numerous articles to scholarly journals on early music, and particularly on the viola da gamba and related instruments.
