The Encounter opens with introductory remarks by Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and music played by Molly Morkoski, pianist, introduced by Chris Vath, composer

What happened in 2020 changed and is still changing us. What is the nature of this change? Can this change be a milestone in the journey of life?

Archbishop Pizzaballa has been living for decades in the Holy Land, which has not been spared by the pandemic and where social unrest and divisions between people are common. He will address the above questions by sharing his own experience. Then, the music of Beethoven, performed by Ms. Morkoski, will introduce us to the journey of the 2021 Encounter.
