The renowned Italian guitar quartet 40 Fingers is set to perform in Istanbul for the first time on Nov. 22, bringing their distinctive sound to Turkish audiences. The concert will take place at the Lutfi Kirdar Convention and Exhibition Center, one of the city’s most prestigious venues, under the organization of StagePass.

From classical to rock with a single technique

Known for their versatility, 40 Fingers seamlessly blend genres ranging from classical music to rock, film scores, and pop, reinterpreting iconic pieces through the fingerpicking technique—a complex guitar style in which melodies, basslines, and rhythm are played simultaneously using individual fingers instead of a pick.

4 artists, 1 harmony

Formed by Andrea Vittori, Emanuele Grafitti, Matteo Brenci, and Enrico Maria Milanesi, the quartet has earned international acclaim for its ability to reinterpret well-known compositions with both technical mastery and emotional depth. Their Istanbul performance will mark their first step into Türkiye’s vibrant live music scene.
