His father was a patron of the arts and encouraged Maurice to pursue his passion for music from a young age. Maurice began his musical training at the age of six, studying the piano with a private tutor. He showed great promise and quickly progressed, impressing his teachers with his natural talent and dedication. By the age of ten, he had already given his first public performance, playing a Mozart sonata at a local concert. As he grew older, Maurice's love for music continued to deepen, and he began to explore other instruments. He learned to play the violin, cello, and flute, and became proficient in each of them.

One of the highlights of Maurice's career came in 1958, when he was invited to perform at the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival.

Over the years, Maurice continued to perform and record, becoming one of the most respected classical musicians of his time.
