Who: Mill Valley Chamber Chamber Music Society presents

What: Trio Voronezh

Renowned for performing folk melodies with Russian musical instruments, Trio Voronezh demonstrates virtuosity and artistic innovation with musical programs that also include classical, gypsy and tango dance music and a contemporary repertoire including Gershwin.


Concert material is arranged and performed entirely from memory by trio members Vladimir Volokhin on the domra (a three-stringed short-necked ancestor of the mandolin); Sergei Teleshev on the bayan (a chromatic-button accordion, with various registers); and Valerie Petrukhin on the double-bass balalaika (the three-stringed Russian national instrument, with a triangular body made of fir).

Classically trained in their Russian working-class city of Voronezh at Conservatory in Voronezh, the Trio Voronezh was formed in 1993. Their talent and unique musical style was "discovered" as they performed Bach in a Frankfurt, Germany subway station. The trio made its United States debut at the 1996 Oregon Bach Festival. Trio Voronezh has since made several tours of the U.S., earning praise and acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
