Great Performances

Great Performances brings consummate culinary skill and originality to the table, complemented by personalized attention to detail and exquisite service.  The company, founded in 1979 by Liz Neumark as a staffing service for women in the arts, is now an acknowledged leader in the high-profile arena of catered events and has carved out a niche as the foodservice partner of some of the city’s most prestigious cultural institutions including Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center; Brooklyn Academy of Music; Sotheby’s; Apollo Theater; and El Museo del Barrio.  In 2007, Great Performances, in a joint venture with Delaware North Companies, signed a 25-year lease to operate and manage the Grand Ballroom of the newly renovated Plaza Hotel.  Great Performances is the only catering company nationally to own and operate its own organic farm, Katchkie Farm in Columbia County, New York.
