The main task of the creative staff of the concert and variety bureau, which then numbered 118 people, was to promote the best examples of world and domestic art culture, as well as works by Komi authors and folk Komi creativity.
In September 1940, the brigades made their first tour of the republic. On October 5-6, 1940, the first concert season was inaugurated. The concert bureau did not have its own premises, so it huddled within the walls of the drama theater for a long time.

The ensemble's achievements are connected with the fact that the ensemble's creativity is based on a modern reading of Komi folklore. Unusual choral plastics, synthesis of genres, extraordinary stage solutions - this is what distinguishes the work of "Asya Kya". In 2005 the collective was named after the honored art worker - V. P.

Over the entire period of work, outstanding directors, musicians, choreographers, choirmasters, and costume designers of the Republic of Kazakhstan have collaborated with the collective. In the programs "Asya Kya", for the first time, the national everyday Komi instruments were brought to the stage. Now they are widely spread in various creative teams.
