Életrajz

Pál Rózsa was born in Szombathely in 1946. The family relocated to Kaposvár in 1949, where he started his musical studies. He graduated from Moscow University as a chemical engineer in 1970, and following his graduation, occupied various posts within the industry – both in foreign trade and at the National Planning Office. He would go on to become a music editor at the publishing house Editio Musica Budapest. Since 1986, he has worked as a free lance composer, and from that time until 1991 he participated several times in the Work of the Composer workshop led by Ton de Leeuw, both in the Netherlands and in Bulgaria. He studied composition as a private student of Sándor Szokolay and Zsolt Durkó, both professors at the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. He was a member of the Group of Young Composers between 1984 and 1989 and remains a member of the Hungarian Composers’ Union (which he joined in 1984), the Hungarian Music Society (since 1990), and the Hungarian Association of Wind Music (since 1990). He has been awarded various prizes at both national and international Composers’ Competitions. His works have been performed worldwide, from France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Canada, to the United States, Denmark, Poland, Great Britain, Austria, the Republic of South Africa, Hong Kong, and many more.
