From his generation of American composers, I prefer John Corigliano, Christopher Rouse, and my childhood teacher Joan Tower, for example. But I like the way MTT and the SFSO make the effort to play the music of living composers, and get them on the stage. When I was there, they did a piece by Colin Matthews (ugh! I hope you missed that one, Chris) and had him onstage for a bow.
But that's the way it is with all contemporary art -- hit or miss. After a couple of centuries, the bad stuff has disappeared and only the top hits remain. But it's still well worth giving today's stuff a shot, imho.
