Apple announces new Apple Music Classical app, releasing on March 28

Apple has announced its long-rumored Apple Music Classical app, available now to pre-order on the App Store ahead of its release on March 28.

Available to Apple Music subscribers at no additional cost, Apple Music Classical will offer unlimited access to the world’s largest classical music catalog, featuring over 5 million tracks with everything from new releases to “celebrated masterpieces, plus thousands of exclusive albums,” says Apple.

Users will be able to search by composer, work, conductor, or even catalog number, and find specific recordings instantly with spatial audio, all with zero ads.

The new Apple Music Classical app has long been rumored following Apple’s acquisition of classical music streaming service Primephonic in 2021.

Available to pre-order now on the App Store, Apple Music Classical is due to debut on March 28. The service will be available worldwide where Apple Music is offered, excluding China, Japan, Korea, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
