Incidentally, the program for the (sold-out, BTW) Alarm Will Sound
show I mention was:
Dead composers: Zappa, Cage, Varèse
Live composers: Derek Bermel, Wolfgang Rihm, Bernard Woma, John Cale,
John Adams
Cheers,

Well, it's absolutely true in my own experience.
And yes, I know the plural of "anecdote" is not "data," but
consider the success of new music ensembles I mentioned, all of
whom have a much younger audience than traditional chamber music
groups. Even when they play traditional venues -- I saw a hell of a
lot more young people at the Alarm Will Sound concert at Zankel
Hall a few months ago than I see at chamber music concerts there
featuring exclusively dead composers. The audience at the recent
Capital M show at the Cutting Room was overwhelmingly young people.

It's actually easier to get young people unfamiliar with
classical music interested in the work of living composers than
dead ones, which is only natural since (as Dennis says) they also
gravitate towards living authors, living directors, living
photographers, etc.
I seriously doubt this theory, as far as non-pop, art music is
concerned.
