Kammersänger

Honorific title

Kammersänger (male; German: [ˈkamɐˌzɛŋɐ] ⓘ) or Kammersängerin (female; German: [ˈkamɐˌzɛŋəʁɪn] ⓘ), abbreviated Ks. or KS, is a German honorific title for distinguished singers of opera and classical music.[1][2] It literally means "chamber singer". Historically, the title was bestowed by princes or kings, when it was styled Hofkammersänger(in), where Hof refers to the royal court.[3]

The title is given in Germany and in Austria usually on the recommendation of relevant national and local institutions.[3] In East Germany, some concert halls bestowed this designation.

Similar titles are Kammerschauspieler [de],[4] Staatsschauspieler,[5] Kammermusiker [de],[6] Kammervirtuose [de],[7] Kammertänzer [de][8] and Kammerkomponist/Kammerkompositeur.[9]
