Cellist, improviser and composer Adèle Viret (born in 1999) is described as one of the most promising young musicians of her generation. Her singular musical universe was revealed with the creation in 2023 of her very first project, Adèle Viret Quartet, winner of numerous awards (Euroradio Jazz Competion 2024, FoRTE 2024) as well as laureate of the Jazz Migration scheme in 2023. The group has performed at renowned venues such as Jazz in Marciac (FR), Bimhuis (NL), Nuoro Jazz Festival (IT) and was selected for the Jazzahead! 2025 showcase. The quartet's debut album Close to the Water, released in October 2024, won the Jazz Magazine’s Revelation and Jazz News’s Indispensable awards. In 2025, Adèle is nominated in the revelation category at the Victoires de la Musique awards.

From an early age, Adèle studied classical cello at the Montreuil Conservatory, and went on to perfect her skills at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels where she obtained her Bachelor's degree in 2023. At the same time, she started playing in improvised music, jazz and world music projects, performing alongside such luminaries as Magic Malik, Fabrizio Cassol, B.C. Manjunath, João Barradas.

Lulled from an early age by the music of her father, a jazz double-bass player, she quickly developed a sense of improvisation and composition. Her curiosity drives her to join and initiate projects mixing aesthetics and disciplines (dance, literature, theater). In 2019, she created n'Être, a cello and dance duet whose music and choreography are jointly composed by the two artists. That same year, she joined the Medinea network, which brings together young artists from the Mediterranean basin to compose collectively an original repertoire under the mentorship of Fabrizio Cassol. Deeply influenced by the experience of intercultural creation, she created her own collective ; Mosaïc in the company of Bulgarian, French, Portuguese and Tunisian musicians whose first album will be released in 2026 on Fuga Libera. More recently she became co-leader of the trio Notes on the memory of notes, with Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch and Fabrizio Cassol.

Besides her personal projects, she is playing as side-woman in diverse bands : Abhra (from Julien Pontvianne), Kaija String Quartet and internatinally with Jawa Manla in the Netherlands, Zé Almeida's quartet and Apophenia in Portugal, Alejandra Borzyk and Fabrizio Cassol in Belgium as well as occasional guest for Aka Moon.

Alongside her instrumental practice, she was commissioned to compose a piece for solo cello by Les Ateliers du Violoncelle (2023 edition) and in 2025, the Klara Festival (Belgium) asked her to join the “Sounds of Brussels” project, assisting Fabrizio Cassol as artistic co-director.

Adèle is a laureate of FoRTE (2023), Académie Musicale de Villecroze (2018) and the Prix Marion Bourgine awarded by the Jazz in Marciac summer camp (2017). She received the SACEM fund for auto-production (2025). Adèle is a Gewa endorsed artist.
