Consistent with the level of difficulty of what youre playing, how's about Weber's 2nd Clarinet Concerto, Opus 74 2nd movement?

Though I love Buddy Wright's play on this and in general, you could speed this up a tad and romanticize it a bit more so than the link, as to keep the slow tempo interesting to viewers.

Other's may of course disagree on my choice, or my recommendation for its play. Wenzell Fuchs also, IMHO does a great job here with it.

For a high school student, you are certainly off to a good start with your repertoire.

Your private teacher is your God of information. I could recommend some pieces for you but that would be like fitting you in a pair of shoes without sizing your feet.

Whatever you play, make it a gem

Good luck.

THIS, is the interpretation I like, independent of the video's player. Turn yourself into an opera singer when you play this movement.

Why not include a non classical 'fun' piece, an old Artie Shaw or Goodman number just to break the session up, bet the audience would love it.

You asked about a chamber music piece. What instrument do you have available? Violin, viola, cello, woodwind instrument, voice? Then I can give you some suggestions.

I like the idea of an ensemble piece (the bigger the better) because it also ensures a larger audience (family and friends of those guys too).

Something fun would be one of the Mozart Serenades (11 or 12) or perhaps the Dvorak if you have a good bass player at the school.
