Living composers- Modern Classical and the music for movies!  

Who would like to discribe living composers of modern classical music? What interests you about their music? Who are the composers you would like to discuss here? Where have you heard this composer? How do you like the instrument selection the composer takes to demonstrate the music? Would you can to share the feelings that the music gives? How do you like the style and use of the instruments in the music?I know the Baltimore Symphony has been playing the music of living composers, does anybody want to tell of other symphony ochestras that are playing the music of living composers?
How about the music of movies? Certainly with movies music is opened this type of entertainment to many more people! Who would like to comment about the music that is somewhat classical made for movies? These composers are still alive! I am tempted to name people but I do not want to narrow the discussion to those people. So please name the person you want to discuss and what you like for what movie and how it make you feel, if you like to share it.
