Yes, there are still composers of Classical Music.
+++
If you mean in what is loosely called "classical" irrespective of style, but primarily highly-structured, often fairly complex, and almost always acoustic, most certainly yes, both secular and religious.
It covers orchestral, band, chamber and solo instrumental music; and solo, choral and opera singing.
Don't forget film scores either - most are symphonic suites following the tradition of, say, Mendelsohn, who wrote an incidental music suite for performances of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream".
There's also a huge amount of more experimental music being written, often combining amplified or electronic instruments with more conventional acoustic ones.
Classical was a particular musical style, mainly 18C I think though the boundaries are not ever so clear-cut and composers were often influenced by earlier work.
The annual Henry Wood Promenade Concert series is one major means by which such new music is commissioned and published. Also try exploring BBC Radio Three (by internet if you can't receive the radio broadcasts) - you'd be surprised what turns up on that channel, though you really need a genuine listing publication like 'Radio Times' to help you. Most magazines and newspapers ignore radio beyond mere titles or presenters and times.

What is the best music for relaxing the brain?
It is personal preference. Some feel classical music because of the soft strings and such; but others may unwind to a harsh rock ballad or the crunch of a hard rock band. It's whatever makes you think less, and groove more. Even though classical music is soft it may make the listener cringe because of his dislike for that type of music. You would think though, that that would be the most soothing of all. It would be your personal favorite.
