Bronika has been the first prize winner of three international competitions, including the International Young Pianists Competition in Senigallia, Italy in 1997 where she competed with pianists under the age of sixteen from twenty countries.

In 2000/2001 academic year, she won two concerto competitions and performed J.S. Bach Concerto in D Minor with the New England Philharmonic Orchestra and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 2 with the NEC Youth Symphony Orchestra. A part of her May 2000 solo recital was broadcast by National Public Radio and her recordings were recently featured on Boston Classical Radio Station (WCRB) in "The Great Young Ladies of Classical."

Bronika has performed in numerous piano recitals in the United States and Europe, including performances at Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Teatro Marcello, Jordan Hall and Avery Fisher Hall.

Bronika recorded her first solo CD at the age 10, her second CD was recorded live when she was 12 years old.

Boston Globe correspondent Richard Buell wrote about the 10-year-old Bronika in his review of her concert (Boston Globe, May 27, 1998) that:

"... the sheer fluency, accuracy, variety of tone, and articulation she could call upon was scarcely to be believed. That she seemed to be offering a real, even highly personal, interpretation of everything she played was even more remarkable".

He described the performance of Sarabande movement of Bach’s G Minor English Suite (BVW 808) as

"Soulful and inward in emotion, subtly flexible as to phrasing and tempo, the performance spoke familiarly of matters that no 10-year-old – not even 10-year-old Albert Schweitzer – could know of".
