- '...the equally confident FSO is expertly handled by Zoe Zeniodi, who a mere eight years back was a Junior Fellow at the Royal College of Music in London; now she has a doctorate and two conducting positions with American orchestras: this one and the volunteer Broward Symphony, also based in Florida. You can confidently expect to see her climbing up the ladder very shortly.’
- The Classical Review, Martin Anderson, 2 September 2011, "Frank Ticheli: An American Dream", Albany Records - TROY 1258
In addition to the standard repertoire, she has championed new works by living composers including Frank Ticheli and Thomas Sleeper. In September 2010, her book "Frank Ticheli: An American Dream" was published by VDM Verlag.

- "Zeniodi plays with sensitivity and gives to the songs a calm, colorful expression...and while Zeniodi in Debussy’s 'Chansons de Bilitis’ produces delicate dynamical transitions and lets the sound wave tenderly..."
- Göttinger Tageblatt, Göttingen - 6 March 2000 - Torsten Brandt
She holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts and an Artist Diploma in Orchestral Conducting and Master and Bachelor Degrees in Piano Performance and Accompaniment.
