About Classical Minute
One classical music story a day. One minute. 365 days a year. Classical Minute is a quietly addictive daily ritual. Each morning, open the app to discover something surprising about the world's greatest composers — the bar fights, the rivalries, the love letters, the moments of genius — paired with original artwork and warm narration to listen on the go. WHAT YOU GET - A new hand-picked story every day, from 365 of classical music's most interesting moments - Calm, warm narration by Steven Hobé — listen while commuting, cooking, or winding down - Background audio so playback continues with your phone locked, plus pause, rewind, and skip controls - Original artwork created for every story - Bookmark your favorites and return to them anytime - Optional daily reminders, on your schedule ABOUT THE CONTENT Based on The Classical Music Minute podcast, each story brings a different composer or work to life. Whether it's learning that Mozart loved silly jokes, that Bach once got into a sword fight, or that Beethoven's deafness shaped his most transcendent music — you'll come away from every minute knowing something delightful, and a little more in love with the music. PRICING Try the full experience free for 7 days. After that, unlock everything for a one-time payment — no subscription, ever. Perfect for music lovers, lifelong learners, teachers, podcast fans, and anyone curious about the stories behind the music they already know.
