BioTerrance Yan is the Music Director and Conductor of the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and the Infinite Philharmonic, an ensemble he founded with his colleagues at Apple. With over two decades of musical leadership in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is committed to cultivating an inclusive, welcoming, and diverse environment for community-centered music-making.
Terrance’s work spans a wide range of impactful and collaborative projects, including Violins of Hope with luthier Avshi Weinstein, Immunity at Stanford with cellist Joshua Roman, and the annual Stanford Anatomical Gift Program Memorial Service. These performances exemplify his dedication to crafting meaningful musical experiences that resonate deeply with audiences.
Highlights of Terrance’s 2025 season reflect both his artistic growth and his ongoing commitment to community-focused music-making. He will return to the Stanford Medicine and the Muse Symposium with a performance of Mussorgsky/Ravel’s Pictures at an Exhibition. He will also make his debut with the Googler Orchestra this spring, as well as return to the Tech Orchestra Festival with the Infinite Philharmonic this summer. In addition, he has been selected for a distinguished week-long fellowship with conductor Diane Wittry at the National Opera Center in New York—an opportunity that reflects both his evolving artistry and growing recognition within the conducting community. These engagements affirm his commitment to shaping music as a powerful force for connection, creativity, and cultural dialogue.
Terrance is a member of the International Conductors Guild and has served as a conducting fellow at numerous music festivals, studying with distinguished conductors such as Kenneth Kiesler, Donald Portnoy, and Markand Thakar. He maintains a dual career as a conductor and business manager, and holds a Master of Music degree from San Francisco State University, an MBA from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and an MS in Information Systems from Boston University. -
Fan Yang
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab’s mission is to develop therapies for regenerating human tissues lost due to diseases or aging, and to build tissue engineered 3D models for understanding disease progression and informing drug discovery. We invent biomaterials and engineering tools to elucidate and modulate biology, and also use biology to inform materials and engineering design. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, and is driven by unmet clinical needs or key gaps in biology.
