To close the Rhythmic Music degree course would be a great loss, not just to Joensuu but to Finnish culture; It's the only such department in eastern Finland, and Karelia is the heartland of unique ancient traditional music - runolaulu, jouhikko, kantele etc - which is a strong feature of the teaching at the Karelia UAS, and the small city of Joensuu is currently vibrant with music making of all sorts, much of it the result of having a music-student population.
