about
Founded in 1993, Trio Voronezh started their career playing in small concert halls in Germany, France and the Netherlands. Their repertoire ranges from the classical works of Bach, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky and Schubert to Russian folk music and popular tunes. They made their U.S. debut in 1996 at the Oregon Bach Festival, where they became an instant hit. Since then their career has continued to rise, with concert appearances in Europe, a music video filmed in the USA, and a return to the Oregon Bach Festival in 1997 and 1999. On the eve of their 1998 U.S. tour Trio Voronezh appeared on public radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor. In 2003, the Trio made its orchestral debut with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra in a highly successful collaboration with Doc Severinsen. During the 2003-2004 season, Trio Voronezh performed with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra, and in numerous recitals across the country. Its three members are graduates of the Academy of Music in Voronezh, a Russian city of 1 million south of Moscow along the River Don. Vladimir Volokhin (b. 1966) plays the domra, a three-stringed, long-necked mandolin that is a predecessor to the balalaika. Since the sixteenth century it has been used as a solo instrument in Russia; today, in folk music, it is also played in ensembles. Vladimir has been playing the domra since the age of six. He has performed as a soloist in ensembles and with the National Orchestra
