Great Performances Information

Great Performances is an independent New York hospitality company with two connected businesses: Catering & Events and Great Performances Hospitality Group (GPHG). Since 1980, we’ve been known for producing exceptional events across New York City. Through GPHG, we bring that same expertise to workplace dining, cafés, and hospitality programs for corporate offices and commercial properties. Catering & Events Our team produces thousands of events each year, from corporate gatherings and nonprofit galas to weddings and private celebrations. We are the exclusive catering partner for some of New York’s most celebrated cultural institutions and destinations, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Apollo Theater, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Wave Hill, and The Plaza Hotel. Great Performances Hospitality Group GPHG manages workplace dining, cafés, executive hospitality, and internal catering for corporate offices and commercial real estate. We build each program around the people and places we serve, with wellness programming, pop-ups, local restaurant partners, and seasonal experiences that keep guests coming back. We track what guests choose and how dining patterns shift as the workplace evolves, then use those insights to refine menus, production, and service while reducing waste. For occasions beyond the daily program, including executive dinners, tenant events, and holiday parties, our Catering & Events team comes in to plan and run them. Food comes first Across Great Performances, our menus start with deliciousness and are shaped by the seasons, New York’s food culture, and Katchkie Farm, our own 60-acre organic farm in the Hudson Valley. Relationships with local chefs, producers, and community organizations connect our food to the city we call home. Life Happens Around Food®
