GRAND FINALE PERFORMANCE: SATURDAY, MAY 26 AT 8PM An unforgettable theatrical experience! The week culminates with an unforgettable theatrical experience incorporating music, sculpture, dance, video projection and a high tech visual light show. The Earth Harp strings extend from the stage to the balcony putting the audience inside the instrument and inside the magic world of music.

GRAND FINALE ON THE STREET “There is only one instrument in the world that can produce a sound as you reach for the sky... MASS Ensemble’s Earth Harp... Its beautiful sounds will convince you that bigger is Better.” – CBS From May 21 through May 26, The Z celebrates its season finale with one of the most unique and breathtaking ensembles in the world. For one week the artists will build a giant interactive Earth Harp, the world’s largest stringed instrument that will descend from the roof of the Zeiterion Theatre. Part sculpture, part instrument, and part architecture, ABC TV hailed the Earth Harp as the ultimate musical instrument. Everyone is invited to play!
