After years of rumors and anticipation, Apple has announced that the classical music version of Apple Music will arrive on March 28.
Originally promised for 2022, and continually rumored to be on the cusp of launching, Apple offered the following statement about the forthcoming app:
“Apple Music Classical makes it quick and easy to find any recording in the world’s largest classical music catalog with fully optimized search,” said Apple in a statement, “and listeners can enjoy the highest audio quality available, and experience many classical favorites in a whole new way with immersive spatial audio.”
“[It] is the ultimate classical experience with hundreds of curated playlists, thousands of exclusive albums, insightful composer biographies, deep-dive guides for many key works, intuitive browsing features and much more,” continued Apple.
The new Apple Music Classical app can be pre-ordered from the App Store now. It functions as a free download, and has been listed as being solely for the iPad. Upon preordering, the app will be automatically downloaded following its release.
Apple Music Classical requires iOS 15.4 or later, and any Apple Music subscription except the Apple Music Voice Plan. It will be available at launch wherever Apple Music is, except China, Japan, Korea, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
