Kammersänger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kammersänger or Kammersängerin (or Ks.) literally means "Chamber singer." It is a German honorific title for distinguished singers. Historically, the title was bestowed by princes or kings, when it was styled 'Hofkammersänger(in)'.
The title is given in Germany and in Austria usually on the recommendation of relevant national and local institutions. (In the former German Democratic Republic, some concert halls bestowed this designation.)
