If it's a college audition chances are they've planned their repertoire for the next year (or even two). Find out what they're planning to play. (Maybe something by Copland for his centenary?)

Otherwise these may come up:

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique & other excerpts
R Strauss: tone poems
Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 4-6 & ballets
Mahler & Bruckner: symphonies

Some of these wouldn't necessarily be the 'classic' pro audition pieces (except the Berlioz) but are more likely to feature in a college programme. They all contain challenges which even pros can never be complacent about
