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

Activité de promotion et de distribution de certains produits, en particulier de livres, de journaux.

broadcasting department


Explanation:
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.
