Information: Lars Hegaard studied guitar with Ingolf Olsen (diploma 1973, music teaching degree 1977), and composition with Ib Nørholm (diploma 1980). He has also taken a music degree at the University of Copenhagen. In 1983 he was awarded a three-year working grant by the National Arts Foundation, and in 1992 the Sylvia and Poul Schierbeck Grant. In addition to that, he has since 1986 received annually working grants from the National Arts Foundation. His compositions, around 65 so far, cover all genres. His music can be viewed as following two main tracks, which are however often present in the same work: constructive clarity and expressiveness, often in several layers at the same time or in mosaics; and a very rhythmic, gesticulatory line, often with a decided rhythmic pulse and drive (sometimes with inspiration from ethnic music or medieval music).
