The Music of “Twin Peaks,” A Troubled Corgi And Three Other Things To Do and See Today In Portland, Tuesday, July 25

Plus, Blonde Readhead and "Dunkirk" in 70 mm.

Bach to Twin Peaks
Just in time for Twin Peaks reboot, the Dover Quartet will be performing a new piece commissioned by Chamber Music Northwest and inspired by the original series and its music. The concert also features another new piece the festival commissioned from another of its rising young protege composers, Chris Rogerson, whose Thirty Thousand Days reflects three stages of life—youthful innocence, middle-age struggle and finally, the acceptance and resignation of age. The program also includes classics by J.S. Bach (from his magnificent Musical Offering) and Francis Poulenc's sparkling 1939 Sextet featuring the fabulous Imani Winds. Lincoln Performance Hall, 1620 SW Park Ave., cmnw.org. 7:30 pm. $10-$60.

Blonde Redhead
Over the years, Blonde Redhead has drifted from their beginnings as an even-artier Sonic Youth toward a gauzier, more controlled sound. On 3 O'Clock, their new EP, light strings glint around singer Kazu Makino's ever-wispy vocals, sounding like the mid-afternoon daydream its title implies. Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St., 503-284-8686, wonderballroom.com. 7:30 pm. $25. 21+.

Fetch: How a Bad Dog Brought Me Home  
As the internet continues to collectively combust over "doggos," Portland author Nicole Georges' new graphic memoir shows both sides of our canine pals. A fictional Georges tries to battle depression by getting a dog—an equally troubled Shar-Pei/Corgi mix named Beija—who remains her companion for the next 15 years. All the while, Georges grows up among the punks of Portland and tries to remedy Beija's aggressiveness until she discovers compassion is the best medicine. Think Marley & Me starring that weird guy living downstairs. Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside, 800-878-7323. 7:30 pm. Free.

Dunkirk 
Christopher Nolan shot Dunkirk, his new war movie about the evacuation of 400,000 Allied soldiers from the beach of France, on 70 mm. Portland's Hollywood Theatre is one of a handful across the country that can screen it in wide format. Read our review of Dunkirk here. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd., 503-493-1128, hollywoodtheatre.org. 7 pm and 9:45 pm. $15.

Julie Byrne
The world might not need another folk singer, but Julie Byrne is a welcome addition anyway. With her sophomore album, Not Even Happiness, the New York singer-songwriter carves a distinct place for herself in an oversaturated field, addressing life's contradictions in a way that feels beautifully real. The Old Church, 1422 SW 11th Ave., 503-222-2031, theoldchurch.org. 8 pm. $13 advance, $15 day of show. 21+.
