This monumental work of the Dutch composer Hans Cox had it's premiere in 2004. The original title of Virtual Visions was 'Laarbeek Suite'. Laarbeek, a community in Holland of the former places; Lieshout, Beek and Donk and Aarle-Rixtel. The composer was inspired by the surroundings and people that lives in Laarbeek. Characteristic windmills, wide views, poplars, but also the religious habitans and culture of this inspiring area are beautifully translated into music.Hans Kox received several prices. Preludium and fugue have been rewarded in 1954 at the international organ competition in Haarlem. In 1956 he received the cultural price of Arnhem and the Music award of Amsterdam. In 1959, the 'Visser-Neerlandiaprijs' for its first symphony. In 1970, the Prix Italia for 'in Those Days' and in 1974, the first price of the Rostrum of Composers for 'L' Allegria'.
