Akystic is a unique cover band group consisting mostly of students and alumni of KY. We cover a large variety of different genres and styles ranging from acoustic pieces to the newest pop tracks, without forgetting the evergreen rock’n’roll hits. Our members possess broad experience and knowledge in music, each having years of performing experience. We do numerous gigs yearly, varying from small acoustic duos to student parties with an audience of hundreds, or even thousands of participants.

You can listen to our albums on Spotify and find us on social media simply by searching for “Boston Promenade”.

We hold our auditions every autumn. If you love music and performing, make sure you don’t miss out on this chance to be a part of this amazing group. Check out our website akystic. com for more info and follow us on Facebook and Instagram @akysticmusic

Boston Promenade KY’s very own Boston Promenade is one of the best-known big bands in all of Finland – and oldest, established in 1964. Most of our 26 musicians are either students or alumni from the School of Business or other students from the Helsinki region. One of the advantages of Boston Promenade is that the repertoire is very broad and flexible. We mostly start off with entertaining jazz (e.g. Frank Sinatra) and as the evening develops, so does the music. The people in the audience turn from being listening observers into dancing party-animals, while the band plays classics (e.g. Tom Jones, Stevie Wonder) to the pop and rock music

Do you play an instrument? Familiar with audio mixing? Join our mailing list by contacting us at pj@bostonpromenade.com to be the first to know about future openings! We’re also always looking for stand-in players.

KYL We are looking for men who can sing. As the oldest and most prestigious of KY’s clubs, KYL has changed the notion of what male choir singing is about. With us, your vocal chords will produce music ranging from Sibelius to Katy Perry while performing in top concert halls from Japan to Iceland and nightclubs at Mummotunneli or wherever duty calls. KYL (“Kauppakorkeakoulun Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat”) is one of Finland’s top male choirs. We have won international competitions and published critically acclaimed albums. We are more interested in a good attitude than a broad musical background. Do notice, however, that KYL operates and sings in Finnish, so willingness to learn the language is a must! We can offer you singing instruction, an appreciation of classical and not-so-classical music, trips to the stages of the world, but most importantly, a lifelong brotherhood.
