Being a soloist with small orchestra

Author: clarispark

My town has a small chamber orchestra, and two nights ago I auditioned, with four others, to be a soloist in the orchestra's annual Concerto Concert in May. I haven't heard back from the conductor yet, but neither has anyone else. (Finally getting to the point, bear with me) I auditioned on the first movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, K. 622. Should I play a different concerto if I'm chosen as a soloist? I've been told that Mozart's concerto is fairly common and the orchestra's director might not want to play it again(they performed it five years ago in their first season). Any ideas on a good concerto? It can't be horribly difficult; I'm a senior in high school.
