French term

département de diffusion

French to English Art/Literary Music presentation
The text is about a music school which is broadening its remit. Does it sound like management of promotion, organisation of programmes, or what?

Le département de production et diffusion se voit confier, par l'Etablissement public... la gestion des saisons de musique, de théâtre et de danse au printemps et à l’été

Discussion

ormiston (asker) Nov 13, 2018:
I toyed with this As the Centre does have educational projects with other schools. Does it sound too limiting though?
David Sirett Nov 13, 2018:
"outreach" might work, though it means performers going out into the community rather than the school managing seasons.

promotion department

I think this must be the idea. Here's a couple of the definitions from Larousse:

Action de propager des connaissances, des idées ou des biens dans un large public ; vulgarisation : Diffusion de la culture.
Activité de promotion et de distribution de certains produits, en particulier de livres, de journaux.
Note from asker:
Some performances are recorded /broadcast but I don't think that is what this in house department is involved in
That was in answer to ph-b. Phil, you confirm what I think too
Peer comment(s):

agree ph-b (X) : This is how I understand it too, unless we're told that broadcasting is involved.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "David's 'outreach' does apply to some of the projects described. I have played it safe here."

broadcasting department

As this is a music school, and the overall phrase is 'le département de production et diffusion', I take it to relate to the production of musical concerts and theatrical events, etc, which are made available to the public through some sort of broadcast medium.
