In the late 1940s, he served as assistant conductor to George Szell at the Cleveland Orchestra.
Boda composed many chamber pieces, including sonatas for most common orchestral instruments.
He suffered a stroke in late 1995 that interrupted his compositional activity for a time; however, he soon resumed and produced a number of highly imaginative, profoundly mature works in his final years.
Notable students of his include Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, David Ward Steinman, and Jason Overall.
