Indspire is deeply saddened by the passing of Cree cellist, composer and multidisciplinary artist Cris Derksen. 🕊️
Cris was a powerful force in Indigenous music and storytelling whose artistry and innovation left a lasting impact on audiences across Turtle Island and beyond. 🎻✨
Rest peacefully among the ancestors, Cris. 🤍
