There&#39;s a reason Vince Guaraldi&#39;s music still stops people mid-sentence. That warm, wistful piano sound defined a season for generations of listeners, and this October, the Lake County Symphony Orchestra brings it home.&nbsp; Pianist Connor Cowart leads a jazz combo through the music that made autumn feel like autumn &mdash; Linus and Lucy, the Charlie Brown Theme, the eerie charm of the Graveyard Theme, the swagger of the Red Baron, and the aching beauty of The Great Pumpkin Waltz. This is a small-room, small-combo evening at The Barn at Hawthorn Woods &mdash; no big orchestral wall of sound, just a handful of world-class musicians finding the same magic Guaraldi found six decades ago.&nbsp; Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Seating is limited, so we recommend getting your tickets early.
