Nora Brown will bring her Southern bluegrass banjo playing and ballad singing to the Mount Gretna Playhouse, 200 Pennsylvania Ave., Mount Gretna, on Saturday, Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m. The 15-year-old Brooklyn native's performance will be presented in partnership with the Susquehanna Folk Music Society.

At 3 p.m., Nora will perform a Gretna Music for Kids show geared toward youths. She will share her love of the banjo and talk about banjo and Appalachian music. The program will also include an audience sing-along to folk tunes and an opportunity for youths to make their own Appalachian folk toy called a flipper dinger.

Nora began learning music at the age of 6. Since then she has been featured in a TedTalk and NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts, and she was the subject of a documentary funded by the Tribeca Film Festival. In addition to playing solo, Nora plays with other bluegrass musicians and teaches banjo lessons. In 2019, at the age of 13, Nora released her first album, "Cinnamon Tree."
