He rounded off his studies at the Juilliard School in New York, where he was awarded a conducting diploma in 1964.

In 2012 Segerstam was engaged as the Principal Conductor of the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra, Finland’s oldest symphony orchestra, celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2015. His extensive conducting career includes engagements as Principal Conductor and Music Director of the Royal Opera in Stockholm, Director of the Finnish National Opera, Principal Conductor of the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra and of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. He was Music Director of the Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz and Principal Conductor of the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra and of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, where he currently holds the position of Emeritus Principal Conductor.

From autumn 1997 to spring 2013, Leif Segerstam was Professor of Orchestra Conducting at the Sibelius Academy.
