Basically the entire Decemberists catalogue but especially A Record Year For Rainfall.

I’ve been traveling over the past week, SF to Seattle to Minneapolis back to Richmond and it was ~40 degrees and raining everywhere I went. I’m over it.

That don't make a lick of sense to me. Especially considering his work crossed the turn of the century and that the Gymnopedies were composed in the 1800s. Seems foolish to label a style of music by year created. Can you give examples of other composers and works labeled "Contemporary?" Simply googling "contemporary classical composers" gives me 40 some musicians of varying schools and styles, most of whom are still alive today; the list does not include Erik Satie.

Most elementary schools keep all of their old yearbooks - I wonder if you could give JB Fisher a call and arrange a time to pop in to sift through old copies.

If you grew up with Ukrops, obviously the grocery store itself has long gone, but they have a Market and Food Hall close to the University of Richmond.

Edit: there’s a richmond_before_now Instagram page that might be able to help too - he indicates the pictures themselves are from 2003-2016, but could possibly serve as a resource to bring back old memories.

Contemporary in the classical subgenre sense. Anyone 20th century and up is deemed to be Modern/Contemporary classical music.

I went to school for classical music and took a buncha classes that focused on 20th century composers for music theory and musicology. I know waaaay too much about this shit.
