In diesem Konzertprogramm bezieht sich „ensemble feuervogel“ auf die Kunst of the English portrait and miniature painter Nicholas Hilliard. 

On behalf of Queen Elizabeth I, his work is characterized by great emotional sensitivity and an enormous level of detail on a small scale. The ensemble incorporates these qualities in the concert, highlighting the smallest independent musical moments, allowing them to merge into a cohesive whole. Like Hilliard, the ensemble creates miniature portraits of the time. Works by W. Byrd, T. Morley, or J. Dowland, as well as compositions by lesser-known composers such as R. White, J. Harding, or H. Ashton, will be featured

Besides the portraits of composers, the musicians also delve into specific genres that distinguished the music of that era in England and set it apart from other European music due to their prevalence.

Thus, the ensemble interprets various 'In Nomine' settings, courtly dance music, and popular songs and melodies of the time. The Elizabethan era is portrayed through sound
