Dr. habil. Zsófia Tallér
(Recipient of the Bartók-Pásztory Award, Artisjus Award, Erkel State Award, Fonogram Award from the Hungarian IFPI, and the Award of the Hungarian Film Critics)

Dr. habil. Zsófia Tallér (1970–2021) was a distinguished Hungarian composer, educator, and creative director celebrated for her significant contributions to classical, drama, and film music.

She earned dual degrees from the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, majoring in Music Education (1994) and Composition (1995). Her illustrious career began in 1994, encompassing classical compositions, drama scores for Hungary’s most prestigious theaters, and music for both Hungarian and international film productions. Her classical works were performed by top-ranking artists and orchestras in Hungary and abroad. Her opera Leánder és Lenszirom (Leander and Linseed), presented in 2015, was staged by the Hungarian State Opera House for three consecutive seasons and viewed by over 15,000 people—a remarkable achievement for a contemporary opera. The performance was also released on both CD and DVD.

With over 20 years of teaching experience, Dr. Tallér was an influential figure in music education. She taught composition, music theory, music history, analysis, and dramaturgy, among other subjects. For a decade, she served as an assistant professor in the Music Theory Department at the Liszt Academy. Since 1999, she was a qualified professor at the University of Theatre and Film Arts Budapest (UTFA), where she also served as Vice-Rector for Education (2015–2017). She was instrumental in founding and leading the BA program in Composing for Theatre and Motion Pictures.

Dr. Tallér’s academic contributions extended to her habilitation research at UTFA, focusing on music dramaturgy. She also served as the creative director of Twelvetones Production Music, shaping the organization’s artistic direction.

In her memory, the Tallér Zsófia International Composer Competition was established to inspire emerging composers worldwide. This prestigious event encourages young talent to embrace creativity and individuality in composition, reflecting her lifelong dedication to nurturing the next generation of musicians.

Her achievements earned her numerous prestigious awards, both state and professional, and her legacy continues to inspire composers and educators worldwide.
