Eugène Bozza France

Biography

Eugène Joseph Bozza (4 April 1905 – 28 September 1991) was a French composer. Bozza, who studied composition, conducting, and violin at the Paris Conservatoire, was known primarily for his chamber music. Bozza's work includes five symphonies, an opera Leonidas (1947), a ballet Jeux de plage (1950), and many pieces for brass ensemble, though the larger works are rarely performed outside his native France. La légende de Roukm?ni, a cantata based on an Indian legend, won him the Prix de Rome in 1934.
