JARRETT

Having performed with the likes of Jay Leno and Michael Jackson, magic has been a passion of Jarrett's since his earliest years when he formed "The Masters of Magic", a nationally televised illusion show that played at Grossinger's in New York and the New York Playboy Club for an entire season.  Musically inclined, Jarrett wrote "Microcosmos", a magic musical with a cast of 30 and live band.  During that same year, Mr. Parker was featured as the opening act for Bill Cosby aboard the Cunard Line's Queen Elizabeth II.

During Nintendo's hugely successful 1990 thirty city U.S. tour, the role of the magical "Power Wizard" was created for Jarrett.  Shortly after this tour, MTV produced a pilot around Jarrett called "Rock Magic Hour" while at the same time Mr. Parker was tantalizing audiences with his magic and music at New York's Ballroom.  A fourteen month off-Broadway run of his show, "Altered Reality" led to critical acclaim and in 1995, "Altered Reality" moved to the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

On the acting end, Mr. Parker (SAG) has played the lead in three movies - "The Lords of Magick" by Marsh Films, "On Your Own" by Walt Disney Productions, and ABC's "Tough Love"; he was also the lead in three music videos and three television specials. He has appeared in national commercials for Taco Bell, Nintendo, Coke, and Pepsi (with Michael Jackson).  He has performed the lead roles in summer stock musical productions of West Side Story, Guys & Dolls, Pippin, and Showboat.  Mr. Parker has studied at Yale University, Stella Adler Conservatory, and HB Studios (NYC).  He is a member of IBM, SAM, Magic Castle and Magic Circle (UK).

  RAJA

A graduate of The Juilliard School (BM, MM), Raja Rahman has studied with Seymour Lipkin, Jerome Lowenthal, Lev Vlassenko, and Byron Janis and was coached in chamber music by Joel Smirnoff of the Juilliard String Quartet and the late Felix Galimir.  He has appeared in concert with Mstislav Rostropovich, Valerie Gergiev, Iona Brown and several other notable conductors as well as having been discovered by Sir Georg Solti in Hamburg who helped support Mr. Rahman's career at its outset.

Raja enjoyed early competitive success in the Canadian Music Competitions (national winner) and the YKAA International Piano Competition (grand prize). Mr. Rahman gave the American premiere of Janssen's "Veranderingen" as part of The Juilliard School's FOCUS! Festival.  Raja's Carnegie (Weill) Hall debut took place in 1992 followed by his first Lincoln Center concert at Alice Tully Hall in 1993.  Along with violist Ralph Farris, Mr. Rahman performed frequently at St. Paul's Cathedral at New York's "Ground Zero" in late 2001 to help give relief to exhausted emergency workers.

Based in Las Vegas, Raja founded Las Vegas Chamber Concerts in 2007, a top caliber concert series presenting classical fusion.  Raja performs as entertainer and concert pianist as well as teaches a studio of advanced students.
