Trio Voronezh is a Russian folk music band. This band, known for its conventional usage of Russian musical instruments and folk melodies, is composed of three men: Vladimir Volokhin on the domra, Sergei Teleshev on the bayan, and Valerie Petrukhin on the double-bass balalaika. Trio Voronezh is named due to its founders all being graduates of the Academy of Music in Voronezh.

The trio was founded in 1993, when three young men formed a folk music trio, and began to play traditional Russian folk tunes in small concert halls in Germany, the Netherlands, and France.

The band made its U.S. debut in 1996 at the Oregon Bach Festival.

Prior to their 1998 U.S. tour, Trio Voronezh made an appearance on public radio's A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. The trio went on to perform at Houston's Society for the Performing Arts; the cities of Ann Arbor, Chicago, Portland, and St. Louis; and the Universities of Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Nebraska, and Los Angeles, as well as Amherst, Dartmouth College, New York's Rockefeller University and Stanford.

In 2003, the trio made its debut in the orchestral persuasion with the Phoenix Symphony.
