Being a philanthropist, the group presented performances with explanatory sessions at Bosch Young Classical Musicians Festival, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s City Theatres and Afyonkarahisar Classical Music Festival in an attempt to introduce and attract children to classical music. Semplice Quartet have also taken the stage at the 43rd and 45th Istanbul Music Festivals and worked and performed with Prof. Johannes Meissl, Department Head of Chamber Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
