Matthew,

I think you've it an important nail on the head.

Add Klangforum Wien, the London Sinfonietta, Ensemble Moderne, the California Ear Unit, and countless other groups (many in NYC) to your list as well. I was on the jury when Eighth Blackbird won the Concert Artists Guild competition, by the way...

An argument can also be made for the Los Angeles Philharmonic (70% new music last season) and the San Francisco Symphony.

Personally I feel that modern music is far more vital today than in any other time within the past 50 years. Boundaries are also being broken between styles of music -- a real plus.

Best,
EC
