What the charity does
The Viola Commissioning Circle underwrites commissions of new works for the viola to allow composers to start work before co-commissioner funding has been secured. We will not accept any unsolicited approach regarding a commission, whether from a composer, musician, or any other party, but welcome enquiries from orchestras, venues or others interested in programming commissioned works

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Viola Commissioning Circle is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
