Enjoy our Calming Classics Weekends throughout January
The perfect, peaceful start to the year!
Life can sometimes feel like it’s moving at a relentless pace — which is why we’re inviting you to slow things down with our Calming Classics Weekends and enjoy some well-deserved me-time.
The positive effects of listening to classical music are well documented, with studies showing it can help reduce stress, lift our mood and support overall wellbeing. That’s exactly why, throughout January, we’ve created these special weekends filled with the very best in soothing, calming classical music.
So let Magic Classical be the soundtrack to your downtime this weekend — and start the year feeling a little more relaxed.
When should I listen?
Enjoy our Calming Classics Weekends every weekend across January on Magic Classical.
I love hearing the relaxing music at the weekend, can I listen back again during the week?
Absolutely, you can hear our Calming Classics Weekends any time that suits you best right here on Magic Classical’s official app – Rayo.
