Interesting that none of the rep in your signature is in the program. Respectable choice though.
Personally I'd advocate for one of the Chopin etudes, more just out of personal love for them (and, you can impress people with the virtuosity, a nice side benefit). Perhaps 25/9?
If you don't want to do those (fairly understandable, as they're played to death and then some), the Debussy would be a nice touch. I also like Debussy's The Snow is Dancing from the Children's Corner Suite, very lovely piece, though rather short.
Knock em dead live!

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
