Actually, there really is a vast presence of modern classical period music out there. I'll give one fantastic example:

John Tavener's The Whale

This composer does take some influences from late Romantic Period, but it's really extraordinary what he has accomplished: Especially due to the fact that he's a British Composer: There weren't too many great composers from The UK when you look as far back as Early Baroque...

Oh yeah, there's a tidbit I forgot to mention: He got Knighted 8 years ago for his contribution to music...
