Violinist Baiba Skride parlayed prominent competition wins early in her career into international concert prominence. She is also a noted chamber music player. Skride grew up in a musical family; she, along with sisters Lauma (piano) and Linda (viola), took their first music lessons from their grandmother, and they have continued to perform together. As a chamber musician, she has been joined by cellist Sol Gabetta and harpist Xavier de Maistre, among many others. In her early twenties, Skride made her recording debut with an album of Mozart and Haydn violin concertos with the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Chamber Orchestra. In 2022, Skride issued the album Violin Unlimited, featuring solo violin sonatas, and in 2024, she was heard on a recording of Britten's Violin Concerto with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony, conducted by Marin Alsop.

Baiba Skride has also released music as a member of Skride Piano Quartet.
