Carnegie Hall is one of the most prestigious concert venues for any pianist, especially for one as young as Sriram Narayanan (at right) who will tickle the ivories there Sept. 24.

And it won’t even be the first time for the 13-year-old Newton resident.

Diagnosed as a toddler with an auditory processing disorder — it’s like having an acute short-term memory problem — Sriram has perfomed twice before at Carnegie Hall. Needless to say, his talent is immense: In just eight years, Sriram has gone from learning “Sound of Music’’ songs by ear to performing complex pieces by Romantic composers Grechaninov and Rebikov.

“What I love about the way Sriram goes onstage, in general, is that he’s not nervous at all,’’ said his mother, Sunanda Narayanan. “I get nervous, but he smiles as he walks on and off the stage. I always marvel at that. He’s just so happy to be there, and that shows.’’

In addition to performing at Carnegie Hall last year and again earlier this summer, Sriram has won a variety of competitions. And he was the youngest competitor at “Newton Has Talent,’’ for which he received honorable mention. Sriram trains with Tatyana Dudochkin, who’s on the faculty at the New England Conservatory.

Narayanan said her son is happiest while performing:: “If he sees a piano, he can’t not play.’’
