I couldn't see if that was the case when they played in San Diego, but they were using rotary instruments on the all Brahms program in LA on Sunday night.

Mr. Williamson didn't change reeds during the Mozart in San Diego, but he did often pull out a piece of cigarette paper to dry his pads. One of my students thought he was messing with reeds as a guess since she was sitting far in back and didn't know what he was actually up to.

Since you live in Santa Barbara and have caught the concert bug, may I recommend the Camerata Pacifica concerts? Jose Franch-Ballester is often featured on them and is truly a world class clarinetist. Ample evidence of this can be found on Youtube.
