1) Ensemble Contemporaneous

2) Ostrava Days 

Ostrava Days is a three-week long institute, which culminates into a 9-day festival. It is a working environment with a focus on compositions for orchestra. With two resident orchestras - the 95-piece Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra and Ostravská banda (circa 35 musicians) - as well as a score of chamber ensembles, conductors, soloists and 35-piece choir Canticum Ostrava, it is one of the largest events of its kind in the world. It is organized biennially and since its inception in 2001, it has made a significant contribution to the music of today. The institute and festival both take place in the city of Ostrava, The Czech Republic. (promotional text of Ostrava Days)

4) Georges Longy

It is very surprising that Georges Longy, the founder of Longy School of Music, does not have his own entry article at Wikipedia yet. Founder of a recognized music school that is about to celebrate its centennial next year would indeed deserve one.
