The 2024/25 season marks Bridget’s American solo debut at the Aspen Music Festival and School as a Polonsky Foundation Fellow, where she performed in the Klein Music Tent for the Piano-Palooza concert, featuring the world premiere of Greg Anderson's Stars & Stripes: Fireworks for 8 Pianos, 32 Hands. She also performed in the Kurtág Project at the 2024 Summer Piano Festival in Duke's Hall, the first complete performance of all ten volumes of Kurtág's Játékok.

In the 2023/24 season, Bridget made her solo debuts at Wigmore Hall (UK), Viborg Musikforening (Denmark), and Bentley Recital Hall (Malaysia). These appearances were followed by a UK recital tour, with Christopher Axworthy noting that 'her command of the keyboard was at times breathtaking in its audacity.' Her contributions to the arts were recognised when she was named 'Successful Sarawakian from Overseas' at the 2023 Sarawak International Festival of Music and Arts by the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry & Performing Arts.
