I don't know if there is strict criteria for considering someone a "classical composer" - as in quantity of compositions, for example - but I would put forward the performance artist Laurie Anderson, whose earliest pieces (sadly few recorded) included a symphony composed for automobile horns and a classical violin solo composed to be played while standing on a block of ice (the duration of the piece depended on how long it took the ice to melt, so we're in John Cage territory here). She has also worked with Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet and debuted a new performance art/classical mashup called The Art of Falling just last year.
