Are there any contemporary classical composers who don't write in an atonal or minimalistic style?
>>75010819
concert band counts as classical so yes, lots

This mistake belies your intelligence and explains why your understanding is so limited.
Microtones exist everywhere - they are in vibrato, they are in glissandi. They are in all traditional musics, especially prevalent in those that don't adhere to 12TET like Indonesian Gamelan music.

You mean movie score composers?
>>75010819
ligeti writes loads of tonal stuff, his piano etudes e.g.

Movie composers are usually specialists. They don't really write for the concert hall, although sometimes very successful ones will arrange their pieces for the concert hall and give concerts.
Likewise concert hall composers will occasionally do movie scores, but these 2 exceptions are not the norm, generally movie composers write for movies, while concert hall composers write for the concert hall.
New compositions from the last 2 years:

Notice how film scores are not generally included
Contemporary composers who write minimalism are dwindling, it's not a major style these days and there are almost no atonal composers. There are plenty of composers doing a wide range of things with classical but if all you do is sniff your own farts and complain everything is shit these days then you will not hear them.

It's been almost a century and people still can't fathom the idea of atonal music. What honor must it have been for Schoenberg and the second Viennese school to leave such a legacy. There's at least one long tirade against atonality in every YouTube comment section. And you would think classical music listeners would've been more appreciative.

That's not what microtonal music means.
