Segerstam in Aarhus
“Music is NOT that which sounds. Music is WHY that which sounds, sounds like it sounds – WHEN it sounds”.
The above quote by legendary Finnish conductor and larger-than-life composer Leif Segerstam neatly and – in typical
Segerstam fashion – cryptically summarizes his philosophy on music, as wells as his unique approach to
why music matters. It was felt by and intrigued anyone who was lucky enough to work with him, and it fuelled every
aspect of his work in Aarhus, first as principal guest conductor (2018-21) and later honorary conductor (2021-22)
for the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra. It is also evident in the recordings you have before you, the last ones made
before his passing in October 2024.

Leif Segerstam ©
Leif Segerstam was one of the most versatile and interesting musical talents from the Nordic countries, studying violin, piano, composition and conducting
at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki before taking a postgraduate course at New York’s Juilliard School of Music.
He was Chief Conductor Emeritus of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra in gratitude for his supremely successful 12-year period as Chief Conductor.
He also held honorary titles with Malmö Opera and Turku Philharmonic Orchestra as well as the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and
Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany following extremely notable periods as chief conductor with both orchestras. He has held positions as
Chief Conductor of the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra as well as Music Director and Chief Conductor of the
Royal Swedish Opera, and was later also re-appointed as Chief Conductor and Director of Finnish National Opera. In the last years of his life, he served as Principal Guest Conductor of the St Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra, and honorary conductor of Aarhus Symphony Orchestra.
