Julius Lorscheider studied harpsichord, basso continuo, clavichord, organ, and improvisation with Bob van Asperen, Menno van Delft, Kris Verhelst, and Pieter van Dijk in Amsterdam, with Jean-Marc Aymes, Yves Rechsteiner, and Dirk Börner in Lyon, and with Jörg-Andreas Bötticher and Andrea Marcon at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where he completed his master's degree summa cum laude. In 2025, he was awarded a scholarship at Deutscher Musikwettbewerb. Since 2026, Julius has been teaching harpsichord, basso continuo and chamber music at the Musikhochschule Lübeck.

He is the harpsichordist of the ensemble Luceram led by French violinist Hélène Schmitt, with whom he recorded a CD of J.S. Bach's violin concertos in 2022. From 2020-23, he was a member of the ensemble musica getutscht, performing with artists such as Emma Kirkby, Marc Mauillon, and Hana Blažíková. With the baroque orchestra formosa baroque under Ryo Terakado, he has performed in the most important concert halls in Taiwan.

As a sought-after chamber musician and continuo player with ensembles such as Dresdener Kammerchor, Lautten Compagney Berlin, Ensemble Art d'Echo, Weser-Renaissance or Belgian ensemble Musica Gloria, among others, he has performed at the Arp Schnitger Festival in Gothenburg, Festival de Musique Baroque de Froville, Ansbacher Bachwochen, Musica Sacra Maastricht, Thüringer Bachwochen, or the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. He has received invitations for solo recitals at the Grachtenfestival Amsterdam, Tage Alter Musik Schwerin and the Aschaffenburger Bachtage, among others. 

His ensemble Exclamatio Consort brings together young musicians in their shared search for the emotional expression of 17th and 18th century music. The ensemble has been invited to perform at the Festival de Musique Sacrée de Nice, Festival May Be Bach (Lyon) and the Telemann-Festtage Magdeburg.
