From a very young age Jose Gonzales had a creative curiosity. It all started with the piano where he cultivated a relationship with Bach, Chopin, Beethoven and Joplin. Theater caught his attention in high school and he was inspired to get his BFA in Acting from Cornish College of the Arts. Music never fell far away- his trio has become a Northwest favorite with their performance of Vince Guaraldi’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” throughout NW venues for over 12 years. While he has cultivated the creative soil in music & theater, he also cultivates the actual soil as a master gardener currently at the Seattle Japanese Garden in the Arboretum.
