DIFFERENT PROGRAMS

Members of our choir have performed over 800 Book of Mormon presentations since 1991. These different programs, shown below, are not in a particular order, but represent a few of our efforts.
"Songs of the Prophets" has been a title to encompass most all my music, which is 100-200 pieces, counting differing arrangements, etc. However, one presentation will contain only eight to 13 songs. Selections are chosen to meet the requests of the stake or ward, as well as to take advantage of the available talent within the choir and ensemble. Joseph Smith, Prophet of God was awarded "Finalist" by the Church in the Deseret Dramatic Arts Contest in 2007. It premiered in Anchorage, Alaska, with the Mission Choir and our own Kaye Starr Singers. Shown is our CD cover. We toured many areas in Alaska, thanks to the generousity of President Kent B. Petersen, mission president, who had been in our choir since 1997.
This lists the songs of our programs and who performed them in Alaska. We toured three years in a row from 2003-2005.

In 1997, we presented many special Sesquicentenial programs. Below lists the text of our music. We received a special award by the LDS Church First Presidency in 1997 for our community service.
Promise used this program in 1993 for Easter.

"Worth More Than Gold" is a favorite program title created by G. Hope Schroader, my partner and narrator. We used this programming for many years in the '90's. Shown is the same program that was used in Brisbane, Australia, 1994.
"My Strength and My Song" featured my personal stories regarding the writing of this music, plus we brought a troupe of performers. Relief Societies loved this intimate program.
