“Listen to the song “Elment a madárka” [The bird has gone] today in memory of Ménes Ágnes. We share the pain and mourning of her husband, Éri Péter and his family! God grant Ági peace, and comfort to her family! We bid farewell to a wonderful person, a friend, and Muzsikás’ creative partner, our records and beautiful concert stage decorations carry her mark. God bless you dear Ági! Rest in Peace! Hamar Dániel, Sipos Mihály, Porteleki László” posted 2020 Nov. 5th on Muzsikás’ facebook page. Ménes Ági’s distinctive, dazzling humor, her legendary jewelry workshop studio and artistry, her collaboration in [Molnár Gyula’s] productions at Szkéné theatre in Budapest; folks gathered around her and her family, a community personality she would scope out people and draw them into the fold: “…Ági’s key opened up the folk circles to me, the decorative gates of the dance-house jungle, entrance only to men-folk in boots and moustache. I had neither, but Ági took me by the hand and sat me down in a corner. She is well respected here…” “…magazine editor, a few pieces written together, illustrations, graphics, three plays, set decoration, adventures large and small, the rare pleasure of creating together, and what else does Ági do? She laughs and laughs, and makes you laugh.” Excerpts from Molnár Gyula Olasz’s letter of farewell to Ménes Ági (1954–2020) read at her funeral, November 20th, 2020, Tordas cemetery, Hungary.
