I'm not aware of any except for chamber groups that only perform new music, like Cronos String Quartet. Though the government subsidization of new stuff is less than across the pond, the commissions from private sources is huge around here. In a couple of weeks we'll be engaged in reading the works of eight young composers all vying for the opportunity to have their music played by the MO.
The "emotional" comment about classical music as compared to new music is stupefying, Jack!
