Set in a dilapidated Steampunk world of old buildings, steam powered machinery and odd-ball characters, Maurice's Symphony is a fantastical tale inspired by a real life tale . Maurice Matters, a young and brilliant flute player is labelled 'deaf and dumb' because he suffers hearing loss from otosclerosis, which it is believed, Beethoven himself may have suffered. Maurice's journey to regain his hearing is both challenging and heart-warming as he comes to terms with a life filled with the possibility of love, joy and independence.
