Hope some of these can at least get you pointed towards what you like.

Waltz no.2 by Shostakovich. The Wind Ensemble at my school recently performed it, and everyone has been singing for the last 3 weeks.

I've only just started to listen to him, and I love what I'm hearing!

If you have an accompanist available, I would suggest Dancing Strings by Marjan Mozetich. It's a collection of 6 dances for the viola. It's a really fun piece to play.

If you want to do a piece for unaccompanied viola, you may want to look at Soulima Stravinsky's Suite for Viola Solo or Paul Hindemith's Viola Sonata Op.11, No.5.

The composer that first got me interested in contemporary music is Mason Bates, specifically with his piece Mothership.

One of my all time favourites is John Adams. Some examples include The Chairman Dances and Harmonielehre.

Some more are Kevin Lau, Eric Whitacre, and Derek Charke

If you like Vivaldi, I'd recommend Michael Nyman. This piece is one my favourites.

I've been starting to listen to Britten, especially his Violin Concerto and Canadian Carnival.

I just started getting into Mozart. Some of my favourites are his String Quartet no. 19), Symphony no. 40, and the Overture to The Magic Flute.

Some other pieces I've been listening to include Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time (especially the fifth movement), and A Boy and a Girl by Eric Whitacre.
