Dance of the Harbor Seals was composed by Luka Vezmar in the summer of 2024 for his joint junior recital with Nikhila Narayana.
 
Dance of the Harbor Seals was written to be a fun duet for two friends to play, about Luka’s favorite animal, the Harbor Seal.
Throughout the piece you’ll hear distinct sections that change character very drastically, which is showcasing the fun and eclectic nature of the seal. There are many parts of the harbor seal that are represented musically in this piece.
The music opens with a section that supposed to mimic the seals barking, there is a section about how their slap their abdomens with their flippers, and there’s even a section about how they bounce and waddle on land. The piece is an ode the harbor seal, because they are the best animal to ever exist.
