Collins' flourishing career has brought him to all the major European concert halls as well as in the US, the Far East and Australia. In October 2017, the National University of Ireland conferred on him an honorary Degree of Doctor of Music, and in the same year, Collins celebrated his 40th birthday with a solo recital at the National Concert Hall in Dublin as part of the Hall’s International Concert Season.
