One can always check the listings provided by the American Symphony
Orchestra League.  Both Elgar and VW got a decent representation in
2005/6 as did Benjamin Britten.  Sadly, no Bax, Moeran, et al.

But then we had no Creston, Harris got only one performance, his 3rd,
Piston, only one perf.  his Prelude and Allegro, no Schuman Symphonies,
one piece by Crumb, etc.  Rather interesting reading.
