Trigon is the name of a folk-jazz band from Moldova.

The group was created in Chişinău in 1992 and debuted at the Chişinău Jazz Festival in 1993. It originally consisted of the band leader Anatol Ştefăneţ (viola), Sergiu Testemiţeanu (bass-guitar) and Oleg Baltaga (drums).

Anatol Ştefăneţ born into a traditional lăutari family is known for his virtuoso viola skills, especially its Moldovan traditional version, the "bratsch". His solos are featured on several other albums and projects, including the "Black Sea Orchestra" and the "Lăutari".

Trigon released their first CD "Moldavian Wedding in Jazz" in France (SILEX) and immediately received the French music award "Grand Prix du Disc". Their second album, "Oglinda" was released in Germany (Jaro). During 1996-1999 the group toured Europe and the ex- USSR countries extensively always to a critical acclaim.

Their highly acclaimed concert in Germany took place in April 1998 at the " Hamburg Jazz Festival" in the cities famous cultural center "Fabrik". Since then they have performed frequently in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Moldova and Russia.

2000 saw the release of their 3-d album, "Free Gone" (Boheme Music, Russia) with Alexander Murzak substituting for Testimatsanu. Trigon recorded their 4-th CD, "The voice of my earth" (Green records, Romania) in 2001.

The latest incarnation of the band includes Anatol Ştefăneţ (alt), Dorel Burlacu (keyboards), Valentin Boghean (sax) and Garri Tverdohleb (percussion).

"Trigon's style encompasses elements of folk, jazz, rock and symphonic music. Brilliant improvisations and a keen understanding of musical forms characterize their jazz compositions. Trigon is undoubtedly a phenomenon in modern jazz music in its highest intellectual expression." (L.Osipova, Vice-president of the Russian Composers Union)

Trigon is a German based fusion band, and their history is carved by the numerous changes in line-up which contributed to Trigon's creative potential, as the band draws heavily on jamming as a source for their music. The band has also become a regular attraction at various music festivals. These include the Art-Rock Festival, on the "ProgParade", several times on the Burg Herzberg Festival, and at the Zappanale. Internationally, they were for example at the " BajaProg Festival" in Mexicali ( Baja California, México) and at the Festival Crescendo near Bordeaux in France. In 2005 they accompanied Nektar at their European tour.

Trigon was a ball game played by the ancient Romans. The name derives from Greek τρίγωνος (trigōnos), " three-cornered, triangular", and it may have been a romanized version of a Greek game called τρίγων (trigōn). It was a type of juggling game, probably involved three players standing in a triangle (hence the name) and passing a hard ball back and forth, catching with the right and throwing with the left hand. Besides the three players, called trigonali, there were also assistants called pilecripi, who kept score and retrieved runaway balls.

Trigon is a public art work by American artist Allen Ditson, located in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The loosely figurative artwork was purchased by the four daughters of Mr. and Mrs. A.P. Rosenberg in their memory at the time of construction of the Performing Arts Center. It is located on the East Kilbourn side of the Performing Arts Center near the Peck Pavilion and a grove of horse chestnut trees.
