In 1985 he won a British Arts Council scholarship to attend the Music Theatre Studio Ensemble at Banff, Alberta, Canada. He returned to England in 1987 and freelanced for, among others, Northern Ballet Theatre, working closely with Christopher Gable on new performing versions of Prokofiev's ''Romeo and Juliet'', and Tchaikovsky's ''Swan Lake'', ''Chester Music, Novello's'' (a reduction of Thea Musgrave's ''Harriet Tubman, a Woman called Moses'') and extensive education work with the London opera houses, notably English National Opera's Russian Tour in 1990.
In 1996 he moved with his partner Peter Lighte to Hong Kong, where they adopted two daughters. Grant held posts at Hong Kong University, guest conducted for the Academy of Performing Arts and hosted a weekday classical radio show. He lived in Japan from 2000-2002.
On return to London he became Music Director of St Paul's Girls' School,〔(Julian Grant - MusEd - British Council - Arts )〕 (2002-7) a post previously held by Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. During his tenure there he wrote pieces for the school, including a multi-media celebration of the school's centenary in 2004.
