About Linda Vogt

Lived 1922 – 2013 (aged 90). Linda Vogt was an Australian jazz musician and flautist.

Linda Caprice Vogt (28 September 1922 – 2 April 2013) was an Australian flautist.

Vogt was born in 1922 in Melbourne, and began to learn the flute under Melbourne Symphony Orchestra second flute, Leslie Barklamb, in 1938. She joined the MSO in 1940 as "extra flute"—an unusual appointment due to her lack of conservatorium training. In 1942, she joined the ABC Sydney Studio Orchestra, which would later become the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

In 1952, she married Colin Evans, the SSO's third flute and piccolo, and subsequently left the orchestra to start a family, although she gained a reputation as a soloist with Musica Viva Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and also crossed over from classical to jazz flute, joining Charlie Munro's jazz quintet and acquiring the nickname "Hot Lips". In 1976, she founded Zephyr Music, a sheet music supply company which became a successful family business.

Vogt was made a Member of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day honours in 1989, for service to music.
