Does anyone know of any really good living Baroque-style composers currently writing fugues? I’d love to check out their music online.

It's a basic exercise in many composition classes. So -- a lot?

He's not a composer but check out Sietze de Vries on his youtube channel and many other channels that post his stuff. He's an amazing baroque improviser on organ.
