Sid Ramin's orchestration of the Bernstein sonata might work -- I
don't know the orchestral parts and haven't listened to it in a while
(preference for the piano version myself) but I can't imagine they're
too difficult. Stolzman have a recording of this.

If you have enough time between now and the concert, and it sounds
like nothing is both challenging enough for you and easy enough for
the orchestra, why not ask a college or graduate student composer to
write such a work? Many starting composers would be thrilled by the
chance for a commission (even with no money attached) and the work
could be written for the instruments of the group (with tougher licks
for the better players).

Best,
Myke Cuthbert
