Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Kammersänger (male; Script error: No such module "IPA".) or Kammersängerin (female; Script error: No such module "IPA".), 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 Template:Ill,[4] Staatsschauspieler,[5] Template:Ill,[6] Template:Ill,[7] Template:Ill[8] and Kammerkomponist/Kammerkompositeur.[9]
