We love you Baiba! and we hope you can come to New Zealand again to play for us again soon. You played so beautifully for us on your tour a couple of years ago. My 9 year old daughter has a huge poster of you and your violin! We have a Stradivarius copy violin and love it! We love to see the children learning the violin too....xxx

A wonderful look at a visit by a talented violinist, Baiba Skride, to her old Latvian school for gifted future musicians. Baiba also has two equally talented sisters: Lauma the pianist and Linda the violist. Very nice video clip. Check out their music on CD.
