No, classical usually refers to the school of training. This is typically a music only idea. If I was to read Virgil and Homer and I wrote in that vein, I still wouldn't be a "classics" writer.

Classical in music refers to an approach for lack of a far more detailed responce.

In short, there can be a modern classical composer. Just not a modern classic one.
