		 I can read music, though not very well.  I really don't listen to much classical music because I'm more interested in what current artists are making/what boundaries they are pushing.  But since you said 'art music' I assume that includes contemporary artists as well as classical. 
 
I've been listening to a LOT of Godspeed You Black Emporer lately, and they are simply put, amazing.  Sprawling instrumentals convey despair, defiance, and dissatisfaction with epic proportions.  I've been obsessed with a few post-punk bands too - Blonde Redhead, Autolux, Sonic Youth.  Would you consider those 'art music'?
