Organist and New London native Peter Niedmann presents a free recital Sunday afternoon at Christ Church in Westerly. He’s a master of repertoire and the program includes pieces by Bach, John Stanley, Gerald Near, Mozart and Léon Boëllmann. But Niedmann throws a decidely non-classical curve. Not only will he perform original material, Niedmann is also renowned for his improvisational ability — often utilizing thematic suggestions from the audience to inspire on-the-fly compositions.
