The modern composers are out there but whether or not they're comparable to the masters, I doubt it.
I listen to Arvo Part mainly because he's with ECM records and they usually release quality music(good production and sound overall for the money). Also Hans Zimmer wrote a massive score for The Gladiator. Whether or not this neo-classical music can hold your attention or inspire you like Beethoven's 9th is another topic.

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
