Of course, classical music is the most popular than modern music and will always have a place in any century.
Today we don't have classical music composers. Classical music is period around XVI to XIX century, even part of XX century. It was pushed by, in one side, atonality (modern music) and popular music in the other. Now, it's possible that today's composers write in a classical way. For example, the Prokofiev's First Symphony 'Classical' or Stravinsky's Pulcinella suite. But, even, we can't talk of classical music nowdays.

The word 'classical', when applied to music, has two different meanings, a narrow one and a much broader one. In the narrow sense of the word the classical period in music extended roughly from the middle of the eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Classical music in the broader sense of the expression includes the 'serious music' or 'art music' of the last four centuries (or perhaps longer), continuing today.
