linda caprice vogt am -lrb- 28 september 1922 -- 2 april 2013 -rrb- 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 to from classical to jazz flute , joining charlie munro 's jazz quintet and acquiring the nickname `` hot lips '' .
in the 1970s and 1980s , vogt taught music , and was involved in the establishment of several flute organisations , including the sydney flute society -lrb- 1973 -rrb- , as executive director of the australian flute conventions in 1973 and 1983 , and as a member of the steering committee for the foundation of the australian flute association -lrb- 1981 -rrb- .
she also instigated the creation of the register of historic flutes with robert brown .
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 .
