What modern composer IS known outside of academic circles?
Steve Reich, John Adams, and, in particular, Phillip Glass.
Thank you, at least two of those will do nicely for illustrative purposes. Reich and Glass (and perhaps Adams, too, for all I know, but I am not as familiar with his music) both made extensive inroads in the same areas that Cage pioneered, and by many standards could be considered to be successful. (Famous? Rich? Historically important? Widely studied and admired by both those in the know and the lay public? Often-programmed on concerts? Sold a bunch of recordings or sheet music? On a lot of classical radio stations? Have their own PBS special (yay Dennis B-K!) Have their own name card in the classical section of the record store? Haven't got a good definition of successful yet.)
