Following the death of Andrew Wolf in December 1985, Thomas Wolf took over once again as Artistic Director and an endowment was created to underwrite a national music award in his brother's memory. Today, in the summer, Bay Chamber Concerts uses the meeting room for post-concert receptions on Friday evenings. Music education is an important part of Bay Chamber activities. Since its inception Bay Chamber Concerts has provided prizes annually for young Maine musicians. Since 1990, the organization has also sponsored a nine-day ensemble program, The Next Generation, for young Maine musicians which culminates in a free public concert at the Opera House.
Local residents house the students and provide rehearsal sites.
There are also activities for adults. Bowdoin Professor of Music, Anthony Antolini, gives a class in the winter months on the music to be presented on both the summer and winter series. Pianist Glenn Jenks offers a course in music appreciation each spring and fall.
