Robert...
of course it is only a website. The thing i wanted to show is that there are plenty of living composers, possibly thousands worldwide, who write for symphonic orchestra, smaller ensemble, and solo instruments, operas, ballets. New music in the tradition of european earnest music is performed and available on recordings; professional symphonic orchestras and smaller ensembles perform daily new music.
BTW, my american FAB FOUR:
Silvestre Revueltas, Heitor Villa-Lobos, John Cage, Leo Brouwer, Joaquin Nin-Culmell, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Samuel Barber, Aaron Copeland, Carlos Chavez, Manuel Ponce, Gabriela Ortiz, Tania Leon, Agustin Lara, Alberto Ginastera, Ferde Grofe..............
All music was once new!
