Eric Fotre Leach

Eric Fotre Leach is a music director, pianist, vocal coach and educator who's excited to bring his vast array of musical experiences to anyone and everyone who is ready to feel vocally confident, musically prepared and simply get better at singing.

Currently he serves as a conductor and pianist for both the Broadway and National Touring companies of Come From Away. Favorite musical direction credits include touring productions of Flashdance and ELF: The Musical, regional shows such as The Producers, A Chorus Line, The Spitfire Grill, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling, CATS, The Music Man, and The Drowsy Chaperone, as well as youth productions of Sweet Charity, Fame, Once on This Island and Annie.

In addition to full scale musicals, he also loves being part of cabarets across the city, readings of new shows, concerts at 54 Below and The Green Room 42, and playing for auditions. When not performing, Eric is often serving as educator and vocal coach to performers of all ages and abilities. From high school and collegiate level masterclasses, to individual vocal lessons, he uses patience, accessible language, technique, and self-empowerment to help theatre artists find their voice and then feel great about letting it out into the world. He also encourages performers to go further with their singing and dive into the story-telling of each song, using the lyrics, the melody, and accompaniment itself to help shape and inform the arc of each and every song.
