Obituary – Kósa László 1942-2026 September 26. Ethnographic researcher, historian, University Professor, member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, a person with many-sided encyclopedic knowledge and interests. With regards to the dance house movement - Kósa was an old friend and relative of Halmos Béla’s family and it was Kósa László who first directed the young Halmos and Sebő towards Martin György in their quest for information on authentic music of Szék. Kósa László maintained an interest in the dance house movement alongside all his scientific endeavors. He is described here as ‘old style polite’and friendly. He maintained a belief in the mission of the university as the palace of knowledge particularly in this time of ever diminishing consideration for intellectual refinement.
