The month of July’s recorded real estate sales volume in Salisbury was three and half times greater than the $3.7 million recorded in August. Although the number of recorded transfers was similar this total dollar result reflects the timing unpredictability of the sale of high-end properties. Similarly, the median price of a single-family home in Salisbury in August fell to $875,000 from $1,663,000 in July according to Smart MLS. Looking on an annual basis, the rolling 12 month median price of Salisbury homes remains in the vicinity of $900,000.

In August there were no recorded transfers above one million dollars while in July there were six. As of Sept. 12, there were 23 single family houses listed for sale in Salisbury with only one under $500,000 and 17 over $1 million. All 15 available rentals in Salisbury are furnished with the least expensive at $3,500.

Ruth Franklin discusses ‘The Many Lives of Anne Frank’ at Beth David

Congregation Beth David in Amenia hosted a conversation on the enduring legacy of Anne Frank, one of the 20th century’s most iconic figures. Ruth Franklin, award-winning biographer and critic, shared insights from her highly acclaimed book “The Many Lives of Anne Frank” with thought-provoking questions from Ileene Smith, Editorial Director of the Jewish Lives series. This event, held on July 23 — the date Anne Frank would have turned 96 — invited the large audience to reconsider Anne Frank not just as the young writer of a world-famous diary, but as a cultural symbol shaped by decades of representation and misrepresentation.

Franklin and Smith dove right in; Franklin reading a passage from the book that exemplified her approach to Anne’s life. She described her work as both a biography of Anne Frank and a cultural history of the diary itself, a document that has resonated across the world.

Prokofiev, piano and perfection: Yuja Wang at Tanglewood

Sunday, July 20 was sunny and warm. Nic Mayorga, son of American concert pianist, the late Lincoln Mayorga, joined me at Tanglewood to hear Yuja Wang play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16. I first saw Wang on July 8, 2022, when she filled in for Jean-Yves Thibaudet on the opening night of Tanglewood’s summer season. She virtually blew the shed down with her powerful and dynamic playing of Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1.

Nic was my guest last season on July 13, when Wang wowed us with her delicate interpretation of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. We made plans on the spot to return for her next date in Lenox.
