Fiona Talkington presents a collaborative session between Tortoise and Colin Newman.

Including a seasonal tune played on the ukulele, Finola o Siochur singing a Christmas song from the Irish Celtic tradition and organist Carleton Etherington playing Von Himmel Hoch by Garth Edmondson. Plus powerful group singing from the congregation of Liberty Baptist Church in Alabama alongside carol singers at the Royal Hotel, Dungworth, near Sheffield.

And in a special collaboration session at the BBC's Maida Vale studios, a trio of performers take us on a winter's journey, through song, spoken word and percussion. Traditional storyteller Debs Newbold, folk singer Mary Hampton and experimental percussionist Dave Price weave a rich aural tapestry of sounds, stories and songs, taking fragments from traditional winter tales and adding new material and improvisations to create a unique Christmas Eve soundworld.

The three performers, who have never worked together before, create a modern-day radio ballad, based on a winter theme. Each uses their own speciality, possibly venturing into areas unknown, and draw on traditional pagan winter stories and folk songs about the frosty season, combining fragments of these with experimental and perhaps theatrical percussion.

Debs Newbold is a renowned storyteller and cabaret performer, who has long been telling tales from her Anglo-Irish family, and is currently the English Folk Dance and Song Society's storyteller-in-residence at Cecil Sharp House in London. Mary Hampton is a young folk singer from Brighton, whose enchanting and often eerie folk singing mixes the traditional with the new. Percussionist and composer Dave Price is a member of the Nozferatu collective and works with the Gecko physical theatre company as well as pursuing various other projects, involving artists such as Regina Spektor, Gwyneth Herbert and Aqualung.

Robin Williamson, Scottish singer, songwriter, Celtic harp player and Honorary Chief Bard of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, is best known for his work in the 1960s with The Incredible String Band. In recent years, he has devoted himself to reviving the traditions of storytelling in music, drawing influences from folk, jazz, early music and eastern music.

Howard Skempton also made an impact in the musical world in the 1960s, as part of Cornelius Cardew's Scratch Orchestra, which pioneered performances of experimental music by John Cage and Terry Riley, as well as compositions by band members. His recent music is characterised by brevity and sharp concentration, and has been acclaimed for its accessibility and focus on sonority. One critic has described his style as 'complex beauty under a veneer of simplicity'.

In this special collaboration for Late Junction, Robin Williamson and Howard Skempton are given six hours in the studio, and free rein to create any music as they wish.

Verity Sharp presents a varied music mix, including a special Late Junction session.

Verity Sharp presents singer Stephanie Hladowski and guitarist C Joynes in session.

In an exclusive Late Junction session, English folk songs are explored by the exquisite young folk singer Stephanie Hladowski and experimental finger-picking guitarist C Joynes. Plus ambience from J　hann J　hannsson's latest releaseThe Miners' Hymns, exuberance from Taraf de Hadouks and the Sixteen sing music by Tomကs Luis de Victoria. Presented by Verity Sharp.

The Late Junction Sessions are a unique feature of this programme. Every month they bring together musicians from different backgrounds who have not recorded together before. They spend a day in a BBC studio recording original music especially for Late Junction. The sessions are also available to download as podcast, so you can build up a collection of these unique collaborations, month by month.

Tonight's session brings together Aristazabal Hawkes, bass-player from Guillemots, with Dave Okumu, guitarist with The Invisible, and singer-songwriter Mara Carlyle.

Christian Wallumrod draws his influences from Norwegian folk music, jazz and composers such as John Cage and Morton Feldman. He also plays harmonium and toy piano, blending with the trumpet, drums and strings of his ensemble. The result has been described as 'wondrously obscure new music.

When Garth Knox was in his twenties he was invited by Pierre Boulez to join his Ensemble Intercontemporain in Paris, and later spent several years with the Arditti Quartet - his years with them included the premiere of Stockhausen's celebrated 'Helicopter Quartet'. He is now seeking to create a new repertory for the viola, embracing influences from baroque music, folk and the blues.

Fiona Talkington presents music and a session with Christian Wallumrod and Garth Knox.

This collaboration came about at this summer's WOMAD Festival, when the two met in the artists' tent of the BBC Radio 3 stage. They were intrigued by the similarities between the hardanger fiddle and the veena: though they are from totally separate cultures, both have drone strings, the tuning is similar, and there are stylistic parallels in the playing styles too. Synnove S. Bjorset is one of Norway's leading young fiddle players, and she is a regular with the band Majorstuen. Hari Sivanesan was born in London of Sri Lankan parents - he is BBC Radio 3's current World Routes Academy prot?g?, and he gave a solo performance at this year's BBC Proms.

The monthly Late Junction Sessions bring together musicians who have never played together before in a unique studio collaboration. 'Fyfe and Rory were such fun to work with' says presenter Fiona Talkington. 'They brought loads of instruments, sound samples and tapes, and we ended up with so much interesting music, it's our longest Late Junction collaboration ever. We're thrilled they enjoyed the experience, and that they want to work together again.

Rory Simmons was born in Bodmin in Cornwall, and made his name touring across the globe playing trumpet with Jamie Cullen's band - his musical interests extend well beyond jazz though, and his latest project is the album 'Glass Dancers', with compositions for string quartet, electronics and percussion. Besides his work as a core member of London's Loop Collective, he also leads the band Fringe Magnetic, which seeks to mix jazz and experimental music with chamber and orchestral colours.

Fyfe Dangerfield's voice became familiar across the UK recently with a TV advert which used his cover of Billy Joel's song 'She's always a woman'. He is an accomplished songwriter in his own right though: 'a great songwriter on top form' is how The Telegraph reviewed his 2010 album 'Fly Yellow Moon'. However, Fyfe Dangerfield has devoted most of his musical energies to his indie rock band Guillemots, Mercury Music Prize nominees in 2006 - their latest album 'Walk the River' was released last year. He has also composed pieces for the City of Brimingham Symphony Orchestra and for the cellist Natalie Clein, and leads an improvising group Gannets.

This Late Junction session will be available as a downloadable podcast.

The Collaboration Sessions put two artists who haven't worked together before in the BBC's famous Maida Vale studios - the former ice-rink where Bing Crosby made his last recording. The resulting spontaneous recordings are broadcast on Late Junction, available for one month to download as a podcast and in some cases have led to a continuing projects between the artists.

Masayoshi Fujita is a Japanese vibraphonist and composer based in Berlin who first learned drums, followed by extensive vibraphone training to craft and play his own, mostly jazz and electronic-influenced compositions.

Determined not to stick to traditional vibraphone styles or techniques, Masayoshi started to prepare his instrument with pieces of metal, strips of foil and other objects in the search for new possibilities with the instrument. The resulting new sounds help to expand the vibraphone spectrum without eroding the instrument's intrinsic character.

'Apologues', his new release with Erased Tapes, was lauded by Pitchfork as 'Melodic constellations so impeccably gorgeous that they ache.'

Guy Andrews is a London based musician and music producer who is best known for creating textural electronic music, which combines an array of influences from post-rock, techno, ambient and afrobeat inspired genres. Fans and collaborators include Massive Attack, Mary Anne Hobbs, and Scuba. March 2016 sees his debut release on the Houndstooth label.

Determined not to stick to traditional vibraphone styles or techniques, Masayoshi started to prepare his instrument with pieces of metal, strips of foil and other objects in the search for new possibilities with the instrument. The resulting new sounds help to expand the vibraphone spectrum without eroding the instrument's intrinsic character.

'Apologues', his new release with Erased Tapes, was lauded by Pitchfork as 'Melodic constellations so impeccably gorgeous that they ache.'

Adventures in music, ancient to future: Japanese duo Group A pair with improvising pianist Steve Beresford for a Late Junction collaboration session. One of Nick Luscombe's top gigs of 2015 was in a small venue round the corner from his house where he discovered Group A performing a blistering set on a step ladder whilst wearing lampshades on their heads. Hailing from Tokyo but based in Berlin, Group A create sound collages by processing vocals through an analogue synthesizer, a violin through a cassette player topped off with a drum machine. For this session they have been paired with a stalwart of the London improvising scene, pianist Steve Beresford who's not afraid of placing strange foreign objects inside expensive pianos. The result is a playful sonic adventure that combines analogue with digital and compares Tokyo to London.

Verity Sharp celebrates the marriage of drummer Seb Rochford and saxophonist Matana Roberts with a very unusual Late Junction collaboration session.

Seb and Matana - each a leading experimental musician - had previously said they would not have any shared public projects. However, to mark their marriage in March, they have agreed to do a special one-off collaboration especially for Late Junction at BBC's Maida Vale studio.

Over the last 10 years drummer Seb Rochford has forged a new direction in UK jazz combining dub inspired rhythms and off-kilter grooves with his band Polar Bear and in a host of other notable collaborations. Working across the Atlantic, Matana Roberts' visceral saxophone and multimedia work is steeped in the history of American music. Her highly praised Coin Coin project celebrates strong female archetypes in the history of Southern America.

Plus the aptly named new band drøne combine short wave radio and modular synths and a track from Bert Jansch's 1985 LP 'From The Outside' which has been given a limited edition vinyl reissue.

Experimental electronic duo Matmos and 'anti-choir' Juxtavoices meet for a very exciting Late Junction collaboration session.

On top of their ten excellent studio albums, Matmos are well known for their numerous collaborations with Bjork. However, today's Late Junction collaboration session is with a group they've never met before - Juxtavoices, the 24 person improvising 'anti-choir' from Sheffield. Add to that the collaborative powers of an everyday Ultimate Care II washing machine, the sound of which is the source material for Matmos' latest album.

VERITY SHARP also puts together some Midsummer Day music for you, and features great artists new and old, including Paddy Steer and Ernest Ranglin.

Nick digs into the Late Junction session archive to pull out some personal favourites. Highlights include music from Australian improv trio The Necks in session with British saxophonist Evan Parker recorded at the BBC's Maida Vale studios.

Plus the nostalgic horror soundtracks of Polypores, the wonky pop of David West and dub pioneer U-Roy.

LA based composer and musician Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is something of a modular synth fanatic. Mentored by 'diva of the diode' Suzanne Ciani, Smith has dedicated herself to mastering the idiosyncrasies of the rare Buchla synthesiser. For this one-off collaboration she meets free-form drummer Greg Fox, formerly of black-metal band Liturgy and now avant-garde duo Guardian Alien. Even more new music comes courtesy of Floating Points and film composer Roger Goula. And we celebrate the work of Thomas Ad?s as he prepares to unveil his long-awaited new opera inspired by Luis Bu?uel: The Exterminating Angel.

Three disparate folk traditions combine in this exclusive Late Junction collaboration session, recorded in the music rooms of Craxton Studios, a turn-of-the-century house in north-west London.

Duo Anna & Elizabeth play Banjo, fiddle and guitar and draw their inspiration from the mountain music of Appalachia, vocalist and saz virtuoso Asiq Nargile is from the Asiq tradition in Georgia while Bady-Dorzhu Ondar from the Alash Ensemble is a master of harmonic Tuvan throat singing, a technique from the southern fringes of Siberia that allows each singer to produce multiple pitches simultaneously. Over the course of a day in the oak panelled rooms of Craxton studios the musicians worked on several pieces including a percussive tap performance from Anna Roberts-Gevalt and a harmonic Tuvan vocal piece from Bady-Dorzhu Ondar.

Also on the programme an exclusive recording of a new piece by British pianist Kate Halsall, Adam Rudolph's Go: Organic Guitar Orchestra, featuring 11 of New York City's guitarists and brooding improv from Austrian group Polwechsel.

Known for his prowess both on the electric zither and as a leading figure in laughter meditation, Laraaji rose to fame when he was discovered busking in Washington Square Park by BRIAN ENO. He released his debut album Ambient 3: Day of Radiance in 1980 as part of Eno's Ambient series and has been a key figure in new age music ever since.

Ela Orleans' brand of experimental electronica has been described as both 'haunt-pop' and 'movies for ears' and has won her the admiration of Thurston Moore, among many others. Her recent work includes a remix of Laraaji classic Kalimba, but this one-off Late Junction Session is the first time the two artists have met in person.

Also in the programme, baroque guitar from Rolf Lislevand and Buchla synth adventures from Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Suzanne Ciani.

A group of artists from different backgrounds meet for the first time in the BBC Maida Vale studios to create a unique collaboration. Radio 3 composer in residence Matthew Kaner will write a new piece of music based on texts by Ross Sutherland. Ross re-writes classic stories and poems, including in this case Jerusalem, using an Oulipian writing technique in which every noun and verb gets nudged a certain number of places along in the dictionary, creating new versions of familiar texts. The Golden Age of Steam is an improvising ensemble with James Allsop on reeds, Kit Downes on keyboards, Ruth Goller bass, Alex Bonney electronics and cornet and Tim Giles drums. Matthew Kaner is the Radio 3 composer in residence as part of the station's 70th anniversary celebrations of the Third Programme.

Also featured in the programme, the sonic delights of Randall Thompson's Alleluia, British folk by The Furrow Collective and Balkan influenced bassist Toggi J?nsson.

Find out what happened when PC Music met Early Music, in a Late Junction Collaboration Session recorded by pop producer Danny L Harle and early keyboard specialist Pawel Siwczak.

Harle is the chart-friendly musical mind behind the Caroline Polachek collaboration 'Ashes of Love', and 'Super Natural' with Carly Rae Jepsen. Strongly associated with the influential dance collective and label PC Music, he has also remixed for Christine and the Queens, Panda Bear and Tinashe.

Pawel Siwczak is an award-winning solo harpsichordist, fortepianist and historical keyboard specialist.

For this session Late Junction asked Harle to indulge his secret love of early and baroque music, and write scores for harpsichord and electronics. He and Pawel Siwczak had a day to arrange, develop, improvise around and record these in the legendary Maida Vale studios.

Also on the programme, Nick Luscombe plays hard-hitting electronics from Leeds producer Bambooman, laid-back latin bossa from Chicano Batman and Krautrock noise Czech style from B4.

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.

Inspired by their differences, the trio created an uplifting variety of short improvisations ebbing and flowing between Ben's de-tuned acoustic guitar, Steve's intuitive rhythmic reactions and harmonic use of gongs and Baluji's bright and breezy palette of vocals, sitar, tabla, gopi chang and the dilruva.

Plus music by a banjo-wielding electronic experimentalist Baby Copperhead, Chinese composer Chen Yi and the electro-acoustic jazz duo of Moody Allen on processed marimba, tubular bells and effects and George Avramidis on trumpet.
