ZNJ2021 is a four manual and pedal concert organ with 67 stops and 3 traps installed in the new 884-seat Concert Hall of the Grand Theater in Zhengzhou, Henan Province (further information on this building can be found here: https://www.dezeen.com/2022/07/11/zhengzhou-grand-theatre-architectural-design-research-institute-hit/.) Rieger had earlier built a smaller organ for the Henan Arts Center in 2008 (ZNJ2008)
There is a mechanical action attached console, and a separate electric action console on the stage. This organ was mentioned in What’s New in August 2021, and installation was delayed by the COVID-19 epidemic. But work was eventually completed at the very end of 2021. Dedicatory recitals were held on 31 December (Shen Yuan, of Beijing Central Conservatory) and on 2 January 2022 by Li Yihua.
