His string arrangements and recordings were also featured in NBC's SMASH Emmy nominated song, "Voice In A Dream" and Train's New Year's Eve Time Square performance of John Lennon's "Imagine" in 2013.

Mark is a voting member of the Recording Academy (GRAMMYs), a member of the American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers (ASMAC), a member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL), as well as a member of the American String Teachers Association (ASTA).
