Salisbury Winter Sports Association’s capital campaign to build a new 30 meter tower received a big boost recently with NBT Bank’s donation of $15,000 which pushed the drive over the $250,000 mark. SWSA is looking to raise over $425,000. Pictured from left is SWSA director Billy Sheil, NBT Bank CT Regional President Andreas Kapetanopoulos, NBT Bank Vice president and Senior Banking Relationship Manager Adam Higgins, and Peter Gilbert, head of the capital campaign. The 30 meter hill, or “middle jump” is a necessary step in a junior jumper’s transition from the 20 meter beginner’s hill to the big 70 meter hill, but the 75 year old structure has outlived its lifetime and needs to be replaced. When completed, the new 30 meter tower, along with additional improvements, will allow year round jumping for both the 20 and 30 meter hills.

Now is the perfect time to plan ahead for symphonic music this summer at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts. Here are a few highlights from the classical programming.

Saturday, July 5: Shed Opening Night at 8 p.m. Andris Nelsons conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra as Daniil Trifonov plays piano in an All-Rachmaninoff program. The Piano Concerto No. 3 was completed in 1909 and was written specifically to be debuted in the composer’s American tour, at another time of unrest and upheaval in Russia. Trifonev is well-equipped to take on what is considered among the most technically difficult piano pieces. This program also includes Symphonic Dances, a work encapsulating many ideas and much nostalgia.
