Solo w/Chamber Orchestra?

Author: lyn

The director of a local community orchestra (not quite a calamity orchestra but not professional, either) has asked me if I would like to play a solo with the group in a chamber concert next fall, with the chamber orchestra accompanying. Something along the lines of Concertino, or the Rossini Intro/Theme/Var, basically a one-movement thing, not more than 15 minutes. My husband is doing the Rossini in another concert next year, so I don't want to do that!!!! LOL

Any ideas outside of the old chestnuts and District solos? I fear the group would mangle Debussy on just the intonation alone. Yet I am not in any great hurry to play Weber, Rossini, etc. BTDT. If I have to, I will do the Concertino, since everyone knows and likes it, and it can bring an audience. But I'd rather do something more modern and fun.

Ideas, please!
