Lars Hannibal is a Danish classical guitarist and lutenist, born on 15 July 1951 in Aarhus. He extended his interest to the classical guitar after listening to Andrés Segovia playing Bach. He studied the guitar at the Aarhus conservatory and the lute in The Hague with Toyohiko Satoh, completing his studies in 1980. Since 1972 he has taught music at the Peter Sabroe National Institute for Social Educators in Aarhus, and he occasionally plays in rock bands.

He frequently performs with his ex-wife, the recorder player Michala Petri. With Petri, whom he married in 1992, he has given over 1,500 concerts and made numerous recordings. Together they founded the record company OUR Recordings. He has performed with the violinist Kim Sjøgren, the trumpeter Michael Brydenfelt and, later, the Chinese violinist Tina Chen Yi. He has a special interest in China, where he organized a Gala Concert in the Danish Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
