About us

From innovative menus and striking design to impeccable service and critical attention to detail, at Great Performances, we weave our mission into all we do. This woman-owned business serving New York City for over four decades is now a leading hospitality management company. While the business was first founded in 1980 as a waitress staffing agency offering a flexible source of income for women in the arts, today we provide food service in an array of celebrated New York City cultural institutions. You will find Great performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Wave Hill, and The Apollo Theater, among others. We are equally known for corporate workplace dining and amenity programs, and of course, full-service catering, special events, and culinary festival production. Great Performances is the nation’s first caterer to own and operate its own organic farm, Katchkie Farm located in Kinderhook, NY. Progressive from the start, we consistently set the pace for industry best practices.
