Trio Voronezh's astonishing virtuosity and delightful artistic innovation gives the trio the ability to alter the way audiences experience classical, folk and contemporary repertoire.  Discovered playing Bach in a Frankfurt, Germany subway station, Trio Voronezh has since made several tours of the U.S., and earned audience and critical praise.

The trio made its orchestral debut with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra in a highly successful collaboration wiht Doc Severinsen.  Since the debut the trio has performed throughout the U.S. with major orchestras, to great acclaim.  As San Francisco Classical Voice noted of their return to Stanford University, the players of Trio Voronezh have "clear and purposeful dynamics, and never faltered for an instant.  Their playing shows a clear sense of we've done this a million time but we still love it.

Classically trained at the Conservatory in Voronezh, Russia, the members Valerie Petruklin, Vladimir Volokhin (National Champion, All-Russian Competition) and Sergie Teleshev, formed the trio in 1993 in the native working class city of Voronezh.  They play traditional Russian folk instruments: a double-base balalaika (the three-stringed Russian national instrument, with a triangular body make of fir, a domra (a three-stringed short-necked ancestor of the mandolin), and a bajan (a chromatic-button accordion, with various registers).
