encadreur

français vers anglais Art / Littérature Musique
This is a description of an African music group from Gabon:

le Chant sur la Lowé comprend une cinquantaine de membres : choristes, danseurs, musiciens et encadreurs.

I have never seen "encadreur" used in this context before. I have already considered and rejected "mentor". I just have no idea what function these "encadreurs" could have here! Help!!

Thank you all in advance :)

agree Alison MacG : Agree that a broad term is required - I also thought of "production team" or "technical team".

administrator

From experience, I know that many music bands/choirs etc are "administered", or spoken in terms of their "administration", as a way of dealing partly with the management side of their running, and partly with the more clerical/official type duties needed to support their survival.
Example sentence:

"If you have any questions please contact the choir's administrator,..."

"Decided to focus on playing rather than endless band-administration and had musical adventures such as co-ordinating 25..."
