Trumpeter Gábor Boldoczki was born in Szeged in 1976. He is regarded in professional circles as one of the great talents of the era and the German Süddeutsche Zeitung named him the successor to Maurice André. At the age of 14, he won first prize at the national trumpet competition and after graduating from the Franz Liszt Music College began a solo career abroad. He has won a number of prestigious international competitions, includes those in Geneva, Prague, Munich and Paris, and has received numerous awards for his artistic achievements. These include the Davidoff prize in 2002, the "Young Artist of the Year" award and in 2003, the German recording industry's ECHO prize. Following his performance of Johann Wilhelm Hertel's trumpet concerto in E flat major, the press celebrated him as the "trumpet genius of the third millennium". Gábor Boldoczki regularly works with major European symphonic and chamber ensembles. He has appeared at gala concerts with Edita Gruberova in many of the great musical centres of Europe (Paris, London, Zurich, Budapest, Cologne and Madrid). He was the first trumpeter to be invited to the Salzburg Festival to perform Michael Haydn's trumpet concertos. Gábor Boldoczki likes to expand his repertoire with the works of contemporary composers and many have written work especially for him to play.

In 2019 he was awarded a Bartók-Pásztory Prize.
