In his second programme of the season, Slatkin proposes an attractive combination of great works from the repertoire, such as the always impressive Symphony No. 5 by Tchaikovsky and the Tragic Overture by Brahms, with the most exciting current creation represented by Cyborg by the Catalan Ferrán Cruxient, a piece premiered and enthusiastically defended by Slatkin himself. In relation to this piece, Slatkin refers to the cyborg as "an organism that is part human and part mechanical, so for this piece the orchestra assumes both roles." Cyborg makes use of the orchestra's own resources, to which is added a recording composed by Cruixent and played by the musicians themselves on their mobile phones: the Cyborg Song.
