Moshe Vaturi Kanun Musician

In the tranquil hills of Oregon House, California, you’ll find a rare and captivating sound—the kanun, a centuries-old string instrument from the heart of Turkish classical music. Played by Moshe Vaturi, this elegant instrument brings ancient melodies to life through rich, resonant tones that speak to the soul.

A Life Guided by Music

Moshe discovered the kanun in Jerusalem, Israel, when he was drawn to its sound echoing through a long hallway. That moment—simple, unexpected, and deeply moving—led him to study under the musician he found, who later became his teacher. Since then, Moshe has made the kanun part of his artistic and spiritual journey.

Now living in Oregon House, Moshe shares this rare music with the community through local performances, both solo and in collaboration with a pianist. Their duet blends traditional tones with experimental compositions, exploring the boundary between classical and contemporary sound.

Live Performances & Private Concerts

Moshe performs:

  • Solo kanun concerts
  • Duets with piano, blending Eastern and Western styles
  • Private gatherings in homes or gardens
  • Public concerts on local stages (amplified or acoustic)

His style is open, heartfelt, and improvisational. Whether in an intimate living room or a serene outdoor venue, Moshe brings a sense of peace and presence to every performance.

A Cultural Gem in the Foothills
