A graduate of the Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris, then of the National Conservatory of Music of Lyon in the singing-early music class of Robert Expert, Axelle Verner perfected her skills in 2019-2020 at Cécile de Boever's Lyric Center of Excellence. Axelle Verner wins third prize at the Froville International Baroque Singing Competition in 2019.
She performs regularly as a soloist with many ensembles such as La Tempête (S.-P. Bestion), Les Kapsber'girls (A. Imbs), La Capella Sanctae Crucis (T.

Through the CNSMD of Lyon, Axelle Verner is Ottavia in Le Couronnement de Poppée (Monteverdi) and Dido in the opera Dido and Enée (Purcell). Soloist with the Concert de l'Hostel Dieu, she mixes theater and singing to offer original shows that interact with the public. In 2022, his first solo album was released with the Concert de l'Hostel Dieu: "fifty/fifty". It's an original record, a sort of pop musical UFO.
As a painter, Axelle Verner likes to mix genres and creates recitals where vocal art mixes with graphic arts (Le Fil d'Ariane, amphitheater at the Opéra de Lyon; master's recital at the CNSMDL).
Also a researcher, she works in partnership with a doctoral student in linguistics, T.Premat, and a doctor in musicology, S. Chouvion, around musical publishing during the Renaissance.
