Attila Bozay (August 11, 1939 - september 14, 1999) studied composition with István Szelényi at the Béla Bartók Conservatory, then with Ferenc Farkas at the Franz Liszt Music Academy in Budapest where he was graduated in 1962. After being music teacher in Szeged, he worked for the Hungarian Radio as music editor. In 1967, he received a UNESCO scholarship and visited Paris. From 1979 he was a teacher of the Budapest Music Academy, and director of National Filharmony between 1990 and 1993.

He often played his own compositions on recorder and zithern throughout Europe and Canada. When he returned home, Attila Bozay devoted all this time to composition. In 1968, he was awarded the Sandor Erkel Prize for his string Quartet and the song cycle "Outcries"; he got another one in 1979.
