Les Kapsber'girls

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. Simas Freire), Le Concert de l' Hostel Dieu (F.-E. Comte), the Concerto Soave (J.-M. Aymes), Correspondances (S. Daucé), and shares the artistic direction of the Ars Sonic ensemble with Olivier Féraud.

With the Concerto Soave, she sings the role of Nunzia in La Liberation de Ruggiero, (Francesca Caccini). 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. With this trio, she participates in the writing of articles as well as in several conferences and seminars (Seminar on general metrics at the Sorbonne, Colloquium of Morimondo in Italy, etc.).
