Apple Music Classical features hundreds of curated playlists, thousands of exclusive recordings, insightful composer biographies, deep-dive guides for many key works, intuitive browsing features, and more. The creators are continuing to work closely with classical music artists and renowned classical music institutions offer up to date content and recordings. Listeners will also enjoy brand-new, exclusive artwork, including a series of digital portraits and commissioned image blends from classical period.

So far the app has official partnerships with Houston Grand Opera and the Salzburg Festival.
