Catherine Madewell

Catherine Madewell is a woodwind player and composer in the Philadelphia area, known to her colleagues as Cat. Cat developed a love for jazz, and in fourth grade began playing the saxophone. She attended The University of the Arts  where she received a Bachelors of Music in Jazz Studies with a minor in Music Education in December of 2020, and a Masters of Arts and Teaching in December of 2021. Cat has studied with prominent musicians such as Mark Allen, Tony Salicandro, Ron Kerber, and Larry McKenna. Some of Cat’s biggest musical influences include Melissa Aldana, Esperanza Spalding, Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt, and Cannonball Adderley. In her time at Uarts, Cat was the lead alto player for The University of the Arts “Z” Big Band. Through the “Z” Big Band she has had the opportunity to perform with one of her idols, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen. She has also performed with The O-Jays at their induction into the Philadelphia Music Walk of Fame. Cat is a founding member of The University of the Arts Femme Ensemble. She considers it to be one of her greatest accomplishments in her time as a student. Throughout her career as a woodwind player, she has played in the pit orchestras of several theater companies across the Philadelphia and South Jersey area. Cat plays with various bands all round the East Coast, including The Cat Madewell Quartet, Philly’s Finest, The Morning After Band, Kings and Comrades, Peace and the City Grease as well as others. She is currently an instructor for the Philadelphia Jazz Orchestra. A passion of hers is improving the equity in music education. She is an advocate for more women in jazz, and an ally for all minorities.
