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!
