Suwitra Jaya Gamelan is a community music ensemble based at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Led by Dr Manolete Mora, the group creates striking performances that feature cross-cultural collaborations and reflect the connection between Indonesia and Australia.

Since 2014 our members have travelled to Bali to study traditional and contemporary gamelan music, and have brought their experiences back to Australia. Our members have previously performed in arts festivals, temple ceremonies and the Australian Consulate-General in Bali. Recent performance highlights in Australia include an appearance at Malaysia Festival 2022 and an intercultural collaboration with Balinese dancer Sisca Haskew and tabla player Maharshi Raval for the National Multicultural Festival 2023. 

We maintain close ties with Sanggar Bona Alit in Gianyar, Bali, which was established by Alit Adi Putra and his wife Agung Rai in 1996. The name Suwitra Jaya (meaning Noble Friendship) was given to us by Alit Adi Putra.
