Beril Sarıaltun

Founder & Director, Kreşendo

Beril Sarıaltun is a musician, sound designer, producer, and cultural entrepreneur based in Istanbul, Türkiye. She composes music for film and theatre, designs sound, and brings together her background as a percussionist with music production to craft works rooted in rhythm and storytelling.

She is the founder of Kreşendo, a social enterprise that transforms music into a platform for expression, inspiration, and inclusivity. Kreşendo supports musicians in their creative processes, develops special projects, and connects communities through its festival Bu Festival Bizim. The festival highlights gender equality, diversity, and inclusion within the music industry.

Sarıaltun also designed the artist development program My City My Voice, created within the framework of WOW – Women of the World Festival Istanbul. The program has enabled many women musicians to produce their first songs, resulting in three albums, with tracks featured on international radio platforms such as BBC 6 Music and Selector Radio. Since 2025, she has also been serving as Director of Strategic Operations and International Partnerships at We Make Noise, a global initiative fostering gender equity through music and technology.

Her work has received recognition and support from institutions such as UNESCO, Keychange, and Impala, and continues to be presented at international festivals, conferences, and cultural policy forums.
