Your hardiness zone is 5, which means you need an ornamental grass that can tolerate extreme cold as well as shade. The article below gives you some options, including native plants that are naturally acclimated to the climate. Be aware that most grasses will increase in girth over time.
A row of Hydrangea arborescens, a variety that blooms on new wood and is cold tolerant to zone 3, would look fabulous.
