>What modern composer IS known outside of academic circles?
Steve Reich, John Adams, and, in particular, Phillip Glass.
Stu
To these I would add Crumb, Ligeti, and Riley, at the very least.
I would suggest further that any composer whose work has been featured on a national broadcast--especially a TV broadcast--or who has been programmed in a subscription concert of one of the big five orchestras can hardly be considered to be "unknown outside of academic circles." The names of such composers are legion.
