When it comes time to compile a “best of” list for the year, it’s a relatively simple process. I ask myself what albums I kept returning to time and time again. Beginning with Brandy Clark’s eponymous fourth album (which got the most spins of all) and concluding with Man On Man’s sensational second album “Provincetown,” it was a very queer year. While I did everything in my power to limit the list to five, I had to make an exception so you, dear reader, can learn about the great LGBTQ music put out in 2023.

There was dancing, there was eating, and, of course, there was singing. The Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida (GMCSF) hit a high note with its first gala. The event, called Chic & Unique, hosted a crowd of chorus members and fellow music lovers.
Florida Grand Opera (FGO), in its 82nd continuous season, features three of the lyric stage’s most popular titles.
