​Hi there, I’m Christopher Tkaczyk, and ​I’m working with the Pursuits team while our deputy editor James Gaddy is out on paternity leave (congrats, Jim!). I spent years at Fortune magazine as well as Travel + Leisure, but one of my biggest passions is music, especially summer festivals.

On a warm evening, there’s nothing better than gathering with friends for an outdoor concert, having a picnic and enjoying a live performance while the sun sets. Since moving to the Adirondacks during the pandemic, I miss the days when I would attend concerts by the New York Philharmonic or the Metropolitan Opera on the Great Lawn of Central Park.
