... half hour eh? What do you really, really want to play? Can you?
What do your reeds want to sing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they'll do like you blow 'em or else, ha-ha-ha, but do have a meaningful meditation with your ... reeds ... they can make you or break you :-)
Don't wait for the soprano before selecting your ** best and brilliant ** pieces, but certainly have a meaningful conversation about how you're going to transition from her half hour to yours (or vice versa) -- will there be intermission between you?
What ambience do you want to create for your half hour?
How do you want to get yourself warmed up onstage, or more importantly, what play first to warm the audience up to you?
... design a theme perhaps, organize pieces to woo and serenade audience, such as familiar lively start, interesting &/or romantic-expressive &/or intriguing &/or curious middle, and happy, joyous finale
With that much going on, i'd be tempted to throw in a few unexpected short snatches of familiar or funny tunes (Mozart?) to bridge the others, rather like commercials, just to get the audience chuckling, y'know Surprise 'em
