Juliette Hurel

Juliette Hurel is a renowned flautist, celebrated for her contributions to classical and contemporary music, who performs with orchestras and in chamber ensembles globally. After being awarded the first prize for flute and chamber music unanimously at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, Juliette Hurel swiftly established herself as a leading flautist in both French and international music circles. Her early career successes included prestigious prizes from competitions in Darmstadt, Kobé, Boekarest, and the renowned Jean-Pierre Rampal concours. In 2004, her burgeoning talent earned her a nomination for ‘Discoveries of the year’ at the Victoires de la Musique Classique.

She also recorded C.P.E. Bach’s flute concertos with l’Orchestre d’Auvergne led by Arie van Beek and ‘Impressions françaises’—a collection of works with piano by Debussy, Fauré, and Poulenc—both for Zig-Zag Territoires. Her affinity for contemporary music has led to significant collaborations with composers such as Pierre Boulez, Pascal Dusapin, Philippe Hersant, and Eric Tanguy. Since 2010, Hurel has also dedicated her expertise to nurturing new talent, serving on the faculty of the Rotterdam Conservatory (Codarts).

Looking ahead, an album of French music with Isabelle Moretti is slated for publication by Harmonia Mundi in May 2026, further solidifying her distinguished position in the classical music world.
