Composed in 2019 by JUNO-nominated composer, Keyan Emami, The Black Fish Project is a three-movement composition scored for narrator, chamber ensemble, and electronics. While the music loosely corresponds to the Persian children’s book, The Little Black Fish, this musical adaptation interweaves the personal life experiences of the composer into the story of the black fish to create a highly personal account of the scaly protagonist’s journey from the little pond to the open sea.
