Fans of classical music will have a new option to stream music. 

Apple announced it will launch Apple Music Classical later this month. 

Apple forecasted the move in 2021 after purchasing Primephonic. 

"Apple Music Classical fans will get a dedicated experience with the best features of Primephonic, including better browsing and search capabilities by composer and by repertoire, detailed displays of classical music metadata, plus new features and benefits," Apple said in a press release at the time.
