Winner – Victoires du Jazz 2025, “Révélation” (Newcomer of the Year) category
Winner – Jazz Migration 2023

At just 25, Adèle Viret already promises an exciting musical journey ahead. Born into a family of musicians (her father is double bassist Jean-Philippe Viret), the cellist began composing at an early age and has since explored diverse musical territories through her studies in Paris and Brussels, as well as in multidisciplinary projects as a young professional.

Adèle has embraced the joy of intercultural collaborations, performing with the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra and joining a collective of Bulgarian, French, Portuguese, and Tunisian musicians. A season with the French National Youth Jazz Orchestra (2021–2022) and her selection for the Jazz Migration program (AJC network) brought her early recognition within the jazz community.

In 2023, she was awarded the Forte grant for emerging talents in the Île-de-France region, enabling her to produce her debut album, Close to the Water, which earned high praise from the specialized press upon its release in autumn 2024.

She now surrounds herself with a new generation of Parisian and Brussels-based musicians, including the brilliant Tunisian-born pianist Wajdi Riahi.
