The Hungarian harpsichordist, Borbála Dobozy, began her university harpsichord studies with Zuzana Ruzickova in Bratislava then continued at the Prague Academy of music (also with her) where she earned her diploma with distinction. In the following years she studied historic performance practice at the Salzburg Mozarteum - again graduating with distinction - with Liselotte Brändle, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Johann Sonnleitner. Later she also studied with Johann Sonnleitner for a year at the Zürich Academy of Music. A major landmark in her career came in 1983 when she won a prize at the International Harpsichord Competition in Brugge, Belgium, to which she was invited back as a jury member in 2001.
Borbála Dobozy plays regularly at the world’s leading festivals, and has performed at the Budapest Spring Festival, the Salzburg Festival, the Bergen Festival and the Concentus Moraviae. Although her central focus in her activities as a musician is the music of J.S. Bach, her repertoire embraces the entire harpsichord literature, including works contemporary composers. Several Hungarian composers - György Arányi-Aschner, Árpád Balázs, Frigyes Hidas - have written pieces especially for her.
