Use the bullet shaped nosecones. You can then point the mic's straight up and height won't be as much of an issue. I would locate the piano in front of the choir if they are able to stand higher than floor level. If not, put the lid on the short stick and use a furniture pad or blanket to cover the top of the lid to prevent unwanted reflections.

If you don't have another set of omni's, use the Neumann's or Rode's in ORTF in the back of the hall. It will still give you some room ambience to play with.
