Candy McComb will retire from her role as Wilshire’s children’s choir coordinator this summer. Her last day will be in July after the conclusion of the Listen to Your Art! creative arts camp.
Candy said, “I began leading a Young Musicians choir when I started college 50 years ago. That’s a nice round number, and it seems like a good time to step away.”
A former public school choral director, Candy has worked at Wilshire since 2018 overseeing music activities for children and preschoolers.
“I’m proud of the flexibility I’ve added to our programs by moving rehearsals to Sundays and transitioning MusiCamp to a broader arts camp,” Candy said. “It has been such a privilege to serve with our staff and so many wonderful volunteers.”
She and her husband, Vic Henry, will remain Wilshire members, and Candy will continue to co-direct the adult choral group Nova and sing in Sanctuary Choir. “I hope to serve in some other ways at Wilshire and in my community,” she said, “and I have lots of home projects to complete!”
