Michael Berkeley talks to award-winning novelist Jeanette Winterson, whose books include Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Written on the Body, The Passion, Lighthousekeeping, and most recently The Stone Gods. She writes passionately, and is equally passionate about music, especially the human voice. Bjork, Maria Callas, Sarah Connolly and Ian Bostridge are among her chosen singers, as well as cellist Natalie Clein with an eloquent new recording of Elgar's Cello Concerto.

Aled Jones salutes Radio 3's 40th birthday by exploring the contribution the BBC's two amateur choruses have made to the network over the years. He is joined by two long-serving members of the BBC Symphony Chorus and National Chorus of Wales. And tenor Ian Partridge celebrates the choral career of multi-talented musician George Malcolm.

The myth of Salome and the dance of the seven veils began as a brief reference in the Bible. It was later popularised in Wilde's highly sexual rendering of the tale. This new version by Lizzie Hopley focuses on the tense family drama at the centre of the myth. Set on the brink of a new era, when a young carpenter is travelling across Israel promulgating his new religion, this story revolves around a girl on the threshold of womanhood, who has been separated from her father and the world she knows.

George Steiner and Richard Sennett recall the Chicago of the time, and the programme explores how the celebration of individualism by some Chicago intellectuals contrasts starkly with other aspects of life in the Windy City.
